So you're saying that 300points at $130/pt sails through ROFR? LOL

Haha, well no. I understand that at some price threshold DVC will step in, but $160 seemed higher than what I've seen others passing.

Would wait to see what disney offers direct prior to purchasing this

Same, but to late to back out now for the purchaser. I don't understand why people are buying VGF right now, when direct will probably be this much. Everyone has there own reasons.

We stayed in one of the GVs at HHI on Saturday night on our way back from WDW and just fell in love. It's still about 10 hours from our home (I wish it was a little closer, but still not too bad for a one day drive). I booked the GV right at the 7 month mark at 8 am too.. even though it's low season in January, the employees were telling me that they're always at 95-100% occupancy at that resort. We decided that we needed HHI points so that we could have availability at the 11 month mark to book a summertime vacation and get to enjoy the beach and poolhouse more. So excited that we'll be able to pull that off for 2023 (assuming we pass ROFR). When we told our family that we signed this contract, they all started saying they want to sneak along with us!! (we have a couple of open spaces in a 2-bedroom unit since we're only a family of 6).

We stayed at HHI in Sept 2020 for 3 nights on our way down to WDW. By the second day I was scouring the internet for resale contracts . There is just something about that place - it's special. We are now owners there and couldn't be happier about that!

Good luck with your contract.

Who did you sell through? My 100pt SSR contract looks similar as we have 98 pts coming in Oct and were thinking of selling it.

You can get $180 instant sale at a broker for 75pt VGF contract or list at $215 with no current year points. I would say that's going to look like an insane price once VGF-2 is released.

It sold before I even get an answer for the BWV I’m waiting in ROFR.
I guess I can’t post their website.

Interesting article showing Max ROFR value across WDW resorts over last 3 months.
Indicates we are paying too much for VGF/PVB for a start

I found this line interesting:

A single 1,291 point fixed week deed at The Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort was bought back. The fixed week was for a Grand Villa during week 31 (check-in on 31 Jul 2022). Thanks to Wil for finding this one.

Looks like it was bought back at $150pp.

The thing is you just never know why they took it and it may not have been price alone. It’s possibly the contract was deeded to a specific unit and they wanted it for that.

 

[Jimmy Geppetto]

Yep. Looks like only $155 and above is safe.

Looks like they're taking stripped contracts too. Boo

I knew my number would be pressing it. I'm not needing it like right now so if I have to hunt some more, I will. (Still crossing fingers though) =)

I hope you get it. Fingers crossed for you. $153.12 is cutting it close, but you never know. You always have a chance.

 

[Flynn's Gal]

Found it on redweek.com , it was listed for $160 and I negotiated. Hoping it goes through but even if it doesn't now that I found this forum I'm well prepared to start my search over.

Good that you have that outlook. I'd start having my eye on similar contracts. Look at page 1 of this thread as well as the ROFR thread from the prior 3 months to see what price Disney is taking them back. That gives you an idea of your lowest offer.

Hope it passes anyway. Sometimes, it happens that one will get through lower than typical.

thank_the_phoenicians88---$160-$24000-150-BCV-Dec-0/20, 42/21, 150/22, 150/23-Seller pays costs- sent 1/10, taken 1/28

So disappointed. Who is buying these contracts at direct prices?? Can Disney break up a 150 point contract into smaller contracts when they sell direct?

I negotiated a 100 point BCV contract a couple of weeks ago for $140pp through Fidelity but my wife didn’t let me buy. I’m kinda glad I didn’t even try to ROFR. Did you buy through Fidelity? It seems brokers there could care less if contracts get ROFR’d.

I think it's refreshing that Fidelity doesn't push you to submit a higher offer than you want. Others will tell you you'll never pass, but as many here can attest to, Disney surprises us with what they do and do not take back.

It's just nice that you don't get the pressure to up your price, and they don't say "we'd buy it for that price." They just pass it along and let you know how the seller responds.

Things aren't looking good for my 250 and 300 pt contracts.

They can't take them all!

This is true. i suppose it’s a balancing act but I could appreciate a broker that tries to get the buyer a good deal.

I bought through Fidelity. Most emails I received were from the automated communication from their system. I am giving them another try with a Polynesian contract. They were fast to respond when I was in the process of making my initial offer. I had my offer accepted and sent to ROFR within 1 business day. So I can't complain!
