ROFR Thread Jan to March 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

If they continue to take contracts in ROFR and continue to raise cost of direct I think they will close the percentage gap between direct and resale. If it gets to be under 20% and if they offer even remotely similar incentives when they open PVB2 then I'll be more than happy to sell my retail contracts and roll that into a direct contract for the max amount of points the proceeds can buy.

It's difficult for me to justify getting too many more contracts when I can't even get a flippin annual pass to be able to go down there multiple times. I'm sure as heck not buying 5-7 day passes every single time I go down.

I have jumped in with both feet! Along with the above ROFR contract, we just purchased 200 points direct at CCV. After 30+ years of taking the family to WDW, we decided to buy into the DVC. We've already booked a January 2023 trip with our 3 kids and our 5 grandkids. Hopefully, this will be a long-standing family asset while my wife and I are here and long beyond. This site and the contributing members have been an invaluable source of information and advice. I want to thank you all as it certainly made my exhaustive research so much easier.

AUL is not that much cheaper either. But to Sandisw’s point, maybe the concept of a drop down product is a thing of the past?

Agreed. Too much inventory to move now. RIV and VGF2... and PVB2 coming down the pipe. I think the days of a "drop down" product are gone for now.

It’s called ”resale”

Buyers are almost always motivated.
Sellers may or may not be.

if someone were offering me $20K, i'd be pretty motivated!!!

And I get the whole notary thing...but the seller is a lawyer (yes i stalked him! he actually lives 45 minutes away from me), so he must have access to tons! just getting antsy!! this has been such a waiting game. we naively put a bid on a contract on january 14th...did NOT expect it to drag on this long! at least i have you guys to keep me busy!

When I've done the math buying a 7 day pass and individual tickets for a couple other trips still comes out cheaper than the AP...unless I'm mathing wrong, lol. But I typically purchase through medical conferences so that gets me a bit of a discount on tickets...

I wish the regular tickets had the "No Expiration" option you could get before. Then I'd just buy a 10 day pass and use it here and there. That was such a nice option in the day.

Getting antsy too! Reached out to title company and they’re waiting for approval notice from finance company who is waiting for closing document from title company who is waiting for…

Oh, ok. No experience with financing.

Oh, I agree with you. But this lawyer might be extremely busy and/or $20k might not motivate them like it would us.

Or maybe 200 is the new drop down price and they'll start to adjust RIV/VGF2/AUL to the 215 or even 220 range soon. The consensus here is that VGF2 was pretty underpriced and maybe the flood of new direct contracts for VGF2 was a signal that they could increase prices across the board.

Oh I have no doubt that VGF2 will go back to its previous $265pp once it gets sold out. But by then, RR, AUL, DLT, and Poly2 will all probably be selling at $225pp anyways. Will those be considered drop down then? I don’t think so. I think the days of drop downs will be over soon.

 

[bewithmickey]

Ha! Look what just arrived in the mail today. When our SSR resale got taken, we bought 100 pts direct (as well as bidding on another resale OKW that I'm still waiting on).

Anyway, here is our $18,000 backpack!

I was thinking the same thing. They'll raise prices on everything else so $200 seems not so bad...

So excited!!! My first DVC contract. After reading this board I was convinced it was not going to pass.

Only downside is I was so convinced it wasn't going to pass I also have an additional 25 point BCV contract and a 150 point Polynesian contract pending...

Good luck. I have a $161 CCV 2 weeks in awaiting a decision.

Yes! I miss that.
