ROFR Thread April to June 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

It appears to me that current selling properties are passed through ROFR much quicker. But I could be completely off here. My OKW contract was over 40 days before being taken.

That is true.

Or they just do what they do for their own inventory needs, and we try to assign meaning to it.

I was told by some in the know that DVD wants the process to be inconsistent. It is all guided by their own goals, but the element of uncertainty is definitely on the list.

Yes...they do go faster because they know they won't be taking contracts in active sales, so its easy to pass it within 3 weeks vs. 4 to 5 its taking others to find out because those are probably looked at a lot closer than VGF, AUL and RIV would be at this point.

Just a theory (obviously), but if they let a few through at a low price then it motivates buyers to negotiate the lowest price possible and then Disney gets to buy at that price. We do all the work and they reap the benefits.

Evil genius level thinking

Wow that’s awesome to see an AKL get through. But boy am I glad I just gave up and went PVB because it was almost the same price with a lot less stress. Congratulations

I wouldn’t mind some points at the Poly next!

I was just told Disney took someone's BLT contract at 176.

Except:

That doesn’t mean every other resort will take longer, but rather RiV and VGF, on average have decisions regularly in the shorter time frame.

I agree, but clearly they don’t necessarily go faster.

It's not uncommon for an algorithm to automatically go against its own rules a certain percentage of the time to create "outliers", in order to make it less predictable. Wouldn't surprise me if something like that were the case. Then again a room full of drunken monkeys wouldn't surprise me either

Disney likes to save on wages and they've got those Tamarins at Animal Kingdom just sitting there.... just sayin'.

Another thought on AKV related to the unit theory. Aren’t some points Jambo and others Kidani? I never see that info included in the sale listings but DVD would know the type of points for each. I wonder if that might be part of their analysis too and some of the reason why the range of buybacks is so big.

Just waiting for my contract to finish review and wasting brain power on theories that I’ll never be able to prove or disprove

 

[DonMacGregor]

With DVC raising the direct price of BRV up to $205 PP today, I am now wondering if the ROFR monster might just snatch my $120 PP offer sent in on 5/30...

Have been wondering too. Something seems to be up. Wouldn’t be shocked if a refurb gets announced soon.

Did BLT, CCV and BRV direct prices just go up today?

 

[Jimmy Geppetto]

Did BLT, CCV and BRV direct prices just go up today?

News to me. What did CCV go up to?

 

[Chia1974]

News to me. What did CCV go up to?

BLT $265
BRV $205
CCV $240

Yup

Amazing. Now BLT is the most expensive monorail property and an aging BRV with a 2042 exp date is more expensive than brand spanking new VGF and RR direct. This is all too entertaining!
