ROFR Thread Jan to March 2026 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

Awesome! Same here. We just closed on 50 points for AKV.

Is your plan to go every 2 years as well?

Our hope is to go every May when a studio is just 10 points per night since it's just my wife and I. And then every now and then go out to the West Coast and stay for a couple nights.

If we get the urge to save up for something really nice or feel like taking a year off the smaller contract is perfect so we can do that easily without having a lot of money coming out for dues.

I did just see a Reddit post where someone had a 100 point OKW contract at $80 per point get ROFR'd today so my hopes are increasingly small this one slides through.

I'm still new here, didn't realize we could put sent contracts without an answer in here until just now.

You and me are going to be twins, I just submitted a 50 point OKW contract to ROFR on 3/24 May the odds be ever in our favor.

How much per point did you send for?

My wife and I are honestly feeling pretty down today after seeing that $80 per point get eaten by Disney. We were so pumped yesterday too.

Fingers crossed both our contracts go through. Maybe the size of them will work in our favor?

It’s not just the cost; sometimes it’s the building too it is suspected. I wouldn’t worry yet! But OKW that expires in 2042 has long been a target as they want to flip those to 2057 points so they don’t have to deal with other issues that come alongside only half the resort expiring in 2042.

$112, so probably overpaid now looking at things, but I was stocked to get one fully loaded, same use year as we already have (september), and $100 less per point than Disney for 2057 expiration. Be careful though we started with a completely innocent 25 point OKW contract resale back in 2007. If we pass and close on this we will have 365 points.... addonitis is VERY real.

This is the most scared ive ever been for ROFR but I think its not affecting me as much because I already have points.

If mine gets taken, I really dont see the point in trying to negotiate another ssr at under $80 a point for however long that could take.

And I dont see myself buying a contract without a really good deal so I will probably just stay put until after aulani and see how we feel about that being a possibility.

Co-signed.

I was going to post this observation in the Not-ROFR thread, but hesitated. Thanks for bringing it up. Every poster is free to do their own thing within the DISboards guildelines, but I'm not a fan of telling people the thing they just bought was a mistake unless they ask "Was this a mistake?"

Of course, the meta-conversation is that no one who said "This might be a mistake" asked if they should, so pot, kettle, etc. etc.

Thought it was a good life lesson.

Since you pointed it out, I catch myself doing it now. That’s a good thing. Never realized I did it let alone how much I was doing it.

We have a unique family situation and the last thing I want is someone giving me advice on how to handle something especially when I didn’t ask. So I thank you for that.

Dang! This has to include a Club 33 membership.

Joining the comma club with one contract (or maybe you're already there, and this is just more ). Either way - congrats!

I was thinking the same thing. Join the club in one shot!!

It’s our first, (and only haha!)

Just the wait now!

May all your Poly dreams come true!

Sounds like staying in a bungalow for a week!! (every year)

Agreed. If I were going to amass a larger amount of direct points like that, I think I’d do it incrementally in 300 point purchases and break them up into 150 point or smaller contracts. That’s effectively what I did with my 600 RIV points, although I did not pre-plan it - just decided my first 300 wasn’t going to be enough .

Thats what I’m thinking, I would definitely like to have some options, but I’m also in no way shape or form able to afford that amount of points anyway, so its not an issue. lol
Just for fun, I’d think 150x8 would be fun!!

Fair. I'll be honest; having that many PVB points would be totally awesome. I'm also sorry for offering advice if you weren't seeking it. But I do hope they make the best decision for them and know their legal rights at this stage.

Yea if no one else had said anything I would have at least made mention of other options and the actual value for THAT many points.

As I said before I’m just not that well off, so it’s out of my realm to even contemplate it, but if you got it like that, the risk is no big deal, so enjoy those points!!

Me earlier: so, just how long could a person stay at the Polynesian in a resort studio with 1100 points?

Family and social media are 2 very different things. I know many here do not agree with me but if you are posting something publicly you expect comments and know that not all will be sunshine and rainbows. Next. I have said it before and I will say it again when I was new to DVC I would want to know if I was over paying, I would want the advice and then I could decide if I wanted to move forward or continue shopping around. There is such a thing as constructive criticism.

The flip side is that one person's opinion on what is and is not a good deal doesn't always match someone else's opinion. When people come to this thread to post the deal they got, they are excited, and having others analyze it, when they didn't ask someone to do that, has caused people to stop posting in this thread to the level they did when it first started and it was meant as a cheering section while you waited out the ROFR process.

Again, there is no rule that prevents anyone from offering unsolicited advice....but, just be aware that it has had an impact on people wanting to share.

Personally, its why I don't offer advice unless asked because if someone has made the decision to buy, then I am happy for them because they obviously felt it meet their needs and at a price they were comfortable with.

 

[airjay75]

I think a lot of it comes down to how unsolicited advice or input is offered. It’s one thing to say, you’re an idiot what are you thinking when someone has not asked your opinion and it’s another thing to politely suggest something to someone with a disclaimer that you’re just trying to be helpful, but please ignore if you’re not looking for any input. And, there’s a lot of in between ways to provide input. Of course, words expressed in written form without tone are often sometimes taken more forthrightly than if they were said in person. I generally find it a good rule of thumb to try and assume the person had very good intentions until proven otherwise. And, if someone says thanks, but no thanks, well, ok, time to move on.

There are a lot of deals here I dont think are good but I say nothing. I only say something ones that are exceptionally bad where its possible buyer really needs to know what they set themself up for. For instance when you overpay plus it's a delayed closing (not referring to this most recent one), I really think a novice needs to know potential ramifications of a delayed close plus overpaying. Or there are some new buyers that may not know the value difference of OKW vs OKWE. This last instance people really just saw the dollar amount being spent and the fact that it was very stripped. Thats a ton of money to spend to not have someone point out the value of stripped vs non stripped contracts. The poster had ran the numbers which is great and took advice graciously. Thats really what we should all be asking for. Civility and trying to help one another out.

That is true, but when someone says "This isn't a good deal, you should rescind", they are using their own metrics to make that decision, and have no idea about the posters situation that made them decide to purchase in the first place.

And, while someone's intentions for analyzing and sharing why they think maybe the buyer could do better, those posters don't always take it that way, and as I shared, stop posting.

The bigger point was the original intent of this thread is no longer the intent....

I think if one says that they really need to be giving the reasoning behind the statement for sure.

I think not as many people are posting here not out of fear it's really just due to not as many people buying. Listings are way down, so sales have to also be down, and our little section of the internet is just a small fraction of purchases so its normal for the amount of postings to go down.

 

[atthebeachclub]

For the record, I never once said the buyer should rescind. I said they should “*really* consider looking over this one in detail before your rescission period ends.”

Meaning: do a once or twice over before you can’t and are locked in. Make certain this is the deal you want. There are compromises with every purchase.

What would be the cost of just buying this many points direct with incentives… including selling back 26 to Disney and renting out 27 points?

Wouldn't it actually be selling back 25 to Disney, and then renting out 26 and 27?

It’s amazing how paltry the PVB direct incentives are at the higher point tiers…..

I think Disney just doesn't care to sell it off fast, they're pleased with how it's selling and don't need to move massive quantities at once, the math works out better for them if people just keep buying 150s-200s at a higher price per point.

Regardless to the OP who bought the mammoth contract congrats neighbor
