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

I ran the math, but with 10 contracts I think we're good - until Poly is released and we're all over that. If it were smaller I'd scoop it up. Our philosophy is smaller is safer.

We're buying at least one WBC, possibly a second at a fire sale to give us more weeks at WDW. Seriously, they are dirt cheap...

Do they have any resale value? How are the dues?

I want to offer one for $155 max. I don’t see it worth the effort for more. But truthfully II want one more direct contract to pass it on to my kids.

It will be interesting to see if Disney will let VGF pass in the 150’s. They’ve taken a couple of BLT in the low 150’s. Haven’t much recent history with VGF to know. I would love a 100 pt VGF at $155!!

I just offered someone $165 on a 100 point, but it went for the full $175 asking.

I don't see them taking back any VGF right now while selling VGF2 but I could be wrong.

I have a 100 point for $170 in ROFR right now. I'm having seller pay all the closing so that brings me down closer to $160. Should know if we pass in another week. Fingers crossed but I really don't think they will be taking any while currently selling VGF2.

I'm seeing all these contracts listed at $210/point still. Like do they not realize they are asking MORE than direct right now? Tempted to start throwing out offers too and see if one sticks...

WBC in particular has some resale (probably what we are paying for it), though nothing like DVC and we are well aware of that. We've rented/flipped plenty of DVC's for a profit. It occurred to DH that we should look at alternatives and we decided on WBC vs Hilton as closing/fees are close to 2K no matter what you buy! WBC is $600.

The point chart weeks 38 & 39 84,000 points each and week 40 is 126,000 for a 1 BR villa and then we move to DVC for 2 weeks (over Halloween). Son and DIL will stay in a DVC villa for 1-2 weeks. We can bank a year and roll points over (I think you can bank 2 years?) MF's are about $1750. I can book at 12 months and then fill in the DVC puzzle at 11 months and then rearrange at 7 months. It will give us flexibility as we are driving from NH and want to stay as long as possible.

It is getting harder to justify buying another 50-60K or more at DVC. I think we're at 635 points now LOL!

Good luck. It will probably pass since they are actively selling VGF2.

Yeah, I won't even bother bidding on those crazily priced ones. Those sellers are delusional.

And that's exactly what I told one agent when I made an offer on another contract - he didn't even know what the incentives were on VGF2 & he used to be a DVC guide. I was thinking - Dude, this is your job to know!

With VGF back in active sales, the chances of it being taken are now pretty slim. They typically will not ROFR a resort they consider a new resort.

Shame on their agents.

I was just thinking that- Don't the brokers advise them to drop their price? I'm looking at one that's been sitting for 5 months at $215/point right now. wonder what they'd say to $150/pt?

 

[1stTimeLongTime]

Actively awaiting to see if my VGF offer at $167/pp passes rofr glad to hear others have the same thoughts on slim chance on disney scooping it up

Brokers do advise them...I have sold enough that we always had discussions on a plan of action.. Some simply may be waiting to see what happens and are in no rush...but I could never sit on a contract I wanted to sell that long. I always gave things a week and if I got no bites, it went lower.

I gave my Wyndham Bonnet Creek BACK for $0 to Wyndham. I was tired of all the nickel and dime fees, no availability, and poor quality of most of the other resorts. Adding to that it is a timeshare that has no end date -- I didn't want to stick my kids with the burden of ever increasing maintenance fees.
We have loved our DVC ownership since 2001 and have 2 direct add-ons and now 2 resale offers in ROFR.
Wyndham is totally a different animal then DVC.

I hope it works out for you. I have a coworker who loves his WBC.

There's some listed even higher than that!!

Some VGF sellers:

You are right. Why can’t they just pass or take the ones they know for sure. But they make you suffer while I waiting on a foreign owned BWV 3 weeks in.

I’ve seen some brokers actually make up listings, which are way over priced so no one will make an offer, just to give their sites the illusion of more listings. Now would be the time to try some lower priced resale VGF offers because the direct price to the general public in a week and a half will go up, and will continue to go up thereafter. I don’t think VGF resale will stay around 150 -160 (if you can even get that) for long. And I think the resale price will return to pre VGF2 levels when the resort sells out, and it might sell out quickly.
