fair enough............but doesn't he know that i have about 17 spreadsheets already created for how we're going to spend his points??? ha ha

When you look at it that way it does seem insanely rude on his end.

Ha! Look what just arrived in the mail today. When our SSR resale got taken, we bought 110 pts direct (as well as bidding on another resale OKW that I'm still waiting on).

Anyway, here is our $18,000 backpack!

I love to see that they are still giving those out! It's been rumored that backpacks will be phased out....

PoppyJ---$172-$14144-75-BCV-Sep-0/21, 75/22, 75/23- sent 3/2, passed 3/24

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...

Congrats, we are waiting on our 4th BCV contract right now. First 3 were taken. I was so convinced that the 4th would be taken that we also have a 5th contract about to be submitted to ROFR. The 5th contract is an international seller. So we could end up with 0, 200, or 400 BCV points

I mean at least you'll only competing against Direct owners?

Not really. There are a TON of grandfathered resale owners that won't be locked out. At least for a couple of years I think DLT will be impossible at 7 months. Soooo many people have never been able to use their points at DL that will want to give it a go. That's my prediction anyway. Guaranteed correct or your money back

That is a great deal!!! We are in ROFR for one week now.... impatiently waiting for BCV 25pt and 50 pt contracts at a much higher price.
Your post gives me hope.

Maybe my logic is flawed but who all is going to buy all of the resale contracts if it is better and easier to buy direct? Or wait for a fire sale? Not sure how that plays out with resale prices but it seems like it changes things up a bit.

Not that flawed, and I agree in general. Seems like Disney has been actively pushing the prices higher, for the last 2 years in particular, so they can push the new prices where they want for the non monorail/skyliner resorts.
But you are still looking at thousands of dollars in savings to buy resale. With all the new pricing coming in at $200+ even if they take the contracts back below $140 you're still saving up to $12,000 on that 200 point AKL contract, even if they have a fire sale down to the $176 mark the "new" contracts were at 2 years ago you are still saving $7,200. So if you have the time, the savings are/can be still there.

Glad they are still giving those out! Rumor was they were changing to a pop socket! lol

That’s exactly what I did mine was sitting for a bit and was listed at $155. It never hurts to make an offer the worst they can say is no, then you move on.

Put in a couple of insanely low offers. Let's see

If it just didn't take so dang long to go through ROFR....

Congrats!!! We submitted our $125pp 200 SSR 5 days after you - fingers crossed we pass too! Hopefully good news on Monday…

 

[mvenez]

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

I'll be rooting for you!

Looks like Max PVB taken this year is $142, and average around $135 and not many either. Enough contracts out there then $130-140 definitely good chance of passing

Wow. That was a long wait. So glad you got good news! And a good deal.

Thank you! 36 Days is definitely the longest we've had to wait. Debated whether to wait for DLT or go ahead with VGC now. We just love the resort and theming so we bought where we want to stay

 

[bewithmickey]

We have stayed at VGC twice and loved it both times. It's beautiful.

I'm buying resale and was considering buying one of the backpacks off Ebay to make it feel like I am getting the full experience. I don't even particularly like the backpack, I just have FOMO.
