Both my resale contracts I feel like this board might judge me because I did asking price and didn't try to barter. Both were fantastic deals ($125 BLT, double points; $90 SSR, double points) and I didn't want to try to nickel and dime them, I just wanted to respect their realistic asking with an immediate full price offer. Might be a sucker? But I got both the contracts I want without having to go back and forth and try to short change them when they were reasonable!

Offering full price when reasonably priced already is quite reasonable!

I'm just waiting to see if the amazing BCV that lasted one hour pops up here...Someone got very lucky and beat me out while I was on the phone with my wife discussing it!

My philosophy is, if there is a great deal bid. That’s what the 10 day rescind period is for

2 amazing deals. I remember you getting the VGC.. and people be saying DVC going down in price resale wise.

The I’ll buy VGC when it gets below $200 crowd was quite large… they didn’t know it also included Disney!

It's sold now, so I think I can say it - it was barely there, $110 per point for 230 points, 0/364/230 for 24/25/26 points. I was about to add a third use year before it vanished!

Redacting my own post. IDK if it had too many details.

We've haggled on a few contracts and paid asking price on a few as well. Last year it was about 11pm at night and I'd refreshed my favorite website to stalk after having done so 5 minutes earlier. A 350 point Rivieria popped up with 350 2023s and beyond. I woke my husband up and we made a full price offer on it at $103 a point. We also bought a Grand Flo last spring while ROFR was active for I believe $154 a point. It was a delayed closing until Aug but had full 2024s and beyond. There was another contract we attempted to buy at full price and we were the second offer at full price. I believe that one was a BLT at $115 . The other good one we got was a Poly that got listed the same day the new tower direct pricing came out and had thought we'd add on 100 points if there were some incentives at that level. We ended up paying $155 for a 150 point contract with full 300 2024s and 150 25s and beyond. It was less than 100 points direct would have been. All those are contracts we would have hated to miss out on. When Poly wasn't selling we haggled a 200 pointer down from $120 to $108 that had 200 2024s and beyond. It had sat on the market for 30 days along with 3 other polys at the same price with similar points. I still don't understand why those stuck around as long as they did and rofr was quiet at the time about a month later they started to rofr Poly again! Sometimes it pays to be thankful for a great price put of the gate and sometimes there's room for improvement.

I think these are both good, but in defense of the board, I don’t think there’s a lot of judgment here— typically people will scroll on if it’s around median price or $20/pt above a “smoking hot deal”— generally you only see people try to talk others out of a deal during the 10 day period if it’s at least $15-20/pt above a deal that could easily be found with minimal effort and on bigger contracts where they are trying to save a newer buyer a few thousand dollars, often because people don’t realize stripped points should subtract value. I hope everyone feels comfortable posting here, even if they are *gasp* around median or above it!

Great buy, you're either stalking the aggregators or got super lucky to spot it and snag it!

What aggregators do you use? If you don’t mind me asking lol
