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

This leads me to a question…

what can Disney do with these resales they purchase? Do they add points? Change use year? Or is it a legal entity that remains as is?

They can definitely change UY.

 

[DVChris]

Can I ask why? Why do they not get taken?

Taxes are involved for international sellers which require extra paperwork. Disney generally tends to avoid taking these contracts as a result. I think we've seen only 1 taken in the last few years.

This stinks. Lots taking by the ROFR grumps today at DVC

I’m a little nervous now on my HH offer. I didn’t know Disney ever swiped those up, but seems like there have been quite a few recently. Fingers crossed they don’t take it, but if they do, take it quickly!

Well today was a rough one for ROFR. But after ours was taken, we've dusted ourselves off and are back on the hunt. We have one more in the process (just sent on Monday) but it's even lower than the one that got taken (only by a dollar / point though) so I'm not too hopeful. We really want some more CC points to add on to our direct contracts there. It's by far our favorite resort at WDW. The thing is, prices are knocking on $170 a point if you want to make sure you pass ROFR and I just can't justify that price given what Disney is offering direct right now for VGF and RIV. We really have no interest in VGF, but do love Riviera. That price is tempting but the resale restrictions are giving us pause. We have plenty of points already for our family vacations and to leave to our adult son when we become too decrepit to travel. We thought we were done buying points, but my husband just retired and back in January we were shoveling our very long driveway out once again, and looked at each other and said. "We need more points!!" Florida and South Carolina in Jan and Feb sound like Heaven to these PA folks!!

So the search continues ........... Disney can't take them all, right???????

Keep trying I just passed with CCV at $155 a few weeks ago. If you have time on your side keep bidding. There’s a lot of contracts sitting on the market right now.

they can take them all only if we stop trying!! Keep soldiering on!!!!

I can't imagine it won't hurt RIV sales by a big chunk, except we may not see the real impact until new buyers have the choice between the two. The question will be whether DVD, if it happens, decides to change course on resale restrictions.

If they did, I would have bought there in addition to (or maybe even instead of) VGF

 

[MFMont]

Ive been waiting since Feb 1st on a BWV rofr

I thought that they had 30 days to answer. Isn't it good news that you are beyond that point?

They usually are within 30 days but they really have until the closing date

Sometimes there are problems with the contract. I had one for 8 weeks.

AND NH FOLKS LOL!

I would be happy to get $120 on a 225 point contract I have. I still have full 2022 points coming in August. Only problem is I don't want to pay the 8-9% in broker fees out of the proceeds. I may try to find a private sale via Facebook and see how it goes.

You can probably sell them for more through a broker you just have to be prepared to wait it out. The way things are goin I doubt 120 makes it through ROFR. Buyers probably have to be closer to 140 if they want the contract. We are trying to sell 2 contracts right now. An AKL and SS but only had one offer that we didn't accept. We are not really in a hurry. Just decided we had too many points so getting rid of a couple of small contracts.

 

[MICKIMINI]

ouch...2 taken back to back today...

DontTalkAboutDues NoNoNo---$60-$12752-200-VB-Oct-0/20, 268/21, 200/22, 200/23- sent 2/17, taken 3/9

My VBR 95 point loaded contract sent 2/15 is very questionable at this point. Sorry you lost both!

 

[MICKIMINI]

So our contract that was just sent to Disney today won't close until Oct because the owners have a reservation then. Anyway, has anyone had one like that? I was thinking maybe DIsney wouldn't want to sit on a contract that doesn't close for 6 months and maybe they'll just pass.
Any merit to my logic? Or just wishful thinking? Haha.

They do take them! We sold an OKW last summer with a 4 or 5 month delayed closing. That was $116 for 150 points and at the time, one of the higher buy backs. Good luck!

 

[MICKIMINI]

they don't want anyone to buy resale forever

Pretty much what my favorite broker reports

ouch...2 taken back to back today...

I'm curious if the sellers were covering 2022 MF's? It looks like your total includes closing only. That would have been a remarkable deal, bummer.

[MommyMikeAmouseki]

Do any of the brokers or really anyone for that matter have insight into what criteria Disney uses for their decision-making process? Is it a team of people? An algorithm? Oh to be a fly on the wall...
