Yeah, just keep bidding what you're comfortable paying. I see a lot of people so worried about ROFR that they're paying high prices. I mean if you're bidding something obscenely low that's one thing, but really some of these are just too much for my tastes.
I took it back right away. Good timing too because I was just about to get a replacement contract for much higher.Well don’t leave us in suspense. Are you going to waive your right? Or take it?… Or are you going to need 30 days to think about it?
I guess that strategy will work, but with limited availability on the resale market, and ROFR being as active as it is, you could also just keep getting contracts taken and taken.

Oh i get your point but the one im going for now is at $100pp OKW that was what is was listed at and I didn’t bother trying to negotiate it lower but I'm sure not going to pay more if thats what they listed it for. Thats like buying a car thats sticker is 26k and telling them you’ll give them 27 i just can't do that.
Yeah, the great BLT price really helped ease the pain on the BCV. But it's OK. I really wanted it, lol.

So happy here!!! Our first contract!
Today is my first day of vacation but we will just stay at home due to covid. This gives us hope that our next vacation we'll be going to our Disney home!! ❤
Thank you @pangyal for keeping this amazing thread! It helped me a lot during this period and to understand the resale process. I've seen it help many others with the anxiety and sometimes with the heartbreak. It's great coming back to share happiness.
Lots of pixie dust to all who are still waiting!!
I got mine waived at 23 days mark. My broker also said the same 30 - 45 days. They just don’t want to over promised anything since at the end it will be up to Disney. Good luck!

First time buying DVC after trying to convince my wife for 22 years.
So excited!!!
Congrats! I just had a 155 pointer pass for $155 today. It was my UY and the only one out there.
True! But on hard to find UYs, like March, that don’t come up often, especially for my home resorts, I’m not super inclined to eek out every last dime of savings, which over the course of the contract might not be considerable, if I think there’s more than a slim chance it will get taken, especially when a similar contract might not be available for months and months. I just don’t want to risk it, and spend weeks worrying about it!Or accept that they don't take everything and something will get thru.
i totally understand but not sure I agree. Not an expert on OKW, but doesn’t that $100 pp put it right in the sweet spot for ROFR? But, then, as we all know, they can’t take everything. If it does get taken, are similar contract readily available out there?

I think they’re both great, and very different.
