Found the Fed.

And I would’ve gotten away with it, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!

It wasn’t about the increasing post count in itself-it was that the folks involved wanted to do it in order to accomplish a referral that’s banned by board rules. I’d hate to see someone brand new get booted.

No, I totally get that. I was sure I had seen someone already caution that referrals (like private rentals and availability searches) were against the rules. I went back and I guess it hadn't been pointed out.

I did point it out but it must have been deleted.

Only on day 28 here, but I'd like to know sooner rather than later because I'm going to grab some direct points if they take this one.

Same boat. Direct seems worth it at this point.

 

[whochschild]

Passed 6/27!

Oh good news! I know you were worried about this one!!!

 

[DonMacGregor]

Same boat. Direct seems worth it at this point.

Easy for me to say, now that I've passed ROFR, but it really does depend on what your needs are and what the direct price is versus resale. For me, the need was a very specific contract, with a certain number of points in a specific use year. While I only made the offer on May 29th, I had been keeping an eye on the various resale sites for several months to see if a contract filling my need popped up. I must say, it was very much the unicorn.

Right now, using a popular resale search engine, it shows 57 (of a total of 1,865) contracts out there for BRV, across the 13 brokers it tracks. Of those 57 contracts, only 6 are 100 points or less (only 3 are less than 75 points) and zero (0) are both in the February use year and less than 100 points. (Only 4 out of those 57 listings are February UY, and all 150 points or more).

It could be months or longer before one that fit my criteria popped up again.

Well, looks like last week's slowdown ROFR notifications is over. Not surprised with the recent price increase.

justinmramirez---$165-$35262-200-BLT-Feb-0/21, 400/22, 200/23, 200/24- sent 5/30, taken 6/26

Bummer. I'm waiting to hear back from ROFR on my BLT @ $165/pt; it has been just over 2 weeks since submission.

As we're approaching the end of June, I assume that we'll have a new ROFR thread for next quarter. When I hear back, should I only post the passed/taken status in the new thread? Maybe I'm too OCD, and I didn't want to leave an unresolved "waiting" status here.

There shouldn’t be any confusion. The front page gets moved to the new quarter thread and so there won’t be any waiting status once you post your results there. I’m also waiting on $165/pt BLT and I don’t feel good about it at all. Let’s hope in a week the drunken monkey decided he bought back enough points already.

I had two loaded contracts taken earlier this month at $165 and $168 so I'll be curious to see what happens with these. The last BLT contract I'm waiting for ROFR on is at $175. I won't be upset if the ROFR monster takes it as at least I made them pay a bit more for the contract.
