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

I am now afraid to post if I get a good deal

And see, it shouldn’t matter…but it does now.

 

[Sandisw]

I was ignorant and probably still ignorant with this thread. If so, I apologize. Maybe I came into the thread for the wrong reasons, maybe not. It comes down to perspective.

If you wanted this thread to be a place to see the best of the best deals, then that’s what you are getting.

If you wanted this thread to be representative of the market, then it is not.

People are free to post their thoughts but they need to recognize that it’s changed how and what people post in this thread.

I am fine with how everthing plays itself out. As long as everyone is respectful in their responses. I think we should be able to say what we think and post what we think. It’s if we are being told that if we do give opinions related to string postings that the thread will be shut down, that’s what I would not be okay with and I thought that is where it was headed.

I have a very good idea why - some people know they will be sellers and want to keep the values high. I get it.

People here take things to personal. An outlier now does not mean they will have difficulty with a good sell years down the line. There are all kinds of buyers that will pay more to get the contract they want and sellers that will just want to get rid of it for a low price. Its not like oh someone got key west for 70 dollars damn them now ill never be able to sell for more. So ridiculous. (Not you, just people than have an issue with someone getting a certain price)

Nothing is getting shut down and I never said or implied it would.

I simply shared that people do not use this thread to post anymore the way they used to and it is because the thread is no longer about celebrating one’s purchase.

ETA: fixed sentence

I simply shared that people do not use this thread to post anymore the way they used to after being asked if unsolicited advice is allowed.

Happy to hear that. I did hear you on how people feel about posting and I will be more mindful of that.

 

[Chili327]

Your take is that you assume those posting want or need unsolicited advice to ensure they got the best deal based on others standards.

Again, I don’t think that is true. Read my comment again. (sorry I can’t link it right now)
I said best for them, NOT for everyone else.

I was responding to only this part “isn’t that why we are all here?”

Everyone who posts in this thread does not come here to get unsolicited advice on their purchase.

That is why some don’t post until they pass RoFR or don’t post at all.

 

[IsDVCForMe?]

That’s fascinating to me. I view these boards and this thread as such a small, niche corner of the DVC owner base, that I just cannot imagine that they would have any meaningful impact on the overall DVC resale market. If you spend any time on DVC facebook groups, you realize just how small and incredibly informed people here on the DIS Boards are.

I read it as uninformed lololol. But you’re right. Have gotten some incredibly useful information from people on here.

 

[Sandisw]

So we can get back on topic with people posting about their contracts, let’s sum this up:

All posts that follow the rules are allowed.

Some posters wlll no longer use this thread due to unsolicited advice.

The thread is not representative of the market but more representative of the best deals.
