Just heard from ********** my ROFR for SSR 210@$120 Disney bought. 3rd one in a row. Lost 2 OKW.

Absolutely insane how fast things have changed. I closed at $102.50 four months ago and now they're ROFRing $120.

Will do. You as well.

8/5? Wow that’s quick

That’s what I heard through a sales rep unofficially.

LisaDKG---$285-$46318-160-VGC-Sep-0/20, 320/21, 160/22, 160/23- sent 6/26, passed 8/2

I'm totally THRILLED to finally be posting here after reading these threads for the past year. Wish I had bought last year when I first started mulling VGC resale over and not now when the price we paid still makes me outright nauseated.

Still, I needed a smaller contract AND a Sept UY and those went way faster than I could manage these past 12 months. It is what it is and now my DVC portfolio is complete with 200 pts direct from BLT bought in 2011 and now VGC!
When I browsed the various resale sites in June and saw this contract I noticed that the broker in charge of my sale was my old DVC guide Lauri Kilwein! It was therefore fate as I absolutely loved her as a DVC guide and had a great experience buying this contract with her help.

Living in western Canada, Disneyland is a short flight away and the Grand Cal is my family's all-time, favorite Disney hotel. No regrets!!!

Congrats! I just went under contract on a VGC with Lauri as well!

Oh I wish I had seen that! Good luck!

We had been on the hunt for one just like this for a while! Just hoping Disney doesn’t take it. Good luck on your hunt!

We should take a poll on how many resort does everyone own.

We are attempting add resort #5.

My hubby and I eyed up that BCV one as June is our other use year. Good Luck!

Thank you! It was a bit higher in price than what we wanted to spend but I read that only about 10% of BCV points are June UY so we went for it.

That’s the hope, if it does get bought back then next step is most likely saving for VGF 2.0 or DLT. Heard VGF 2.0 sales are starting 8/5

What? VGF 2.0 sales beginning 8/5, like this week??? Details please!!

Our 4th home is in ROFR now.

Ok- could NOT find a reasonable small OCT UY AKV resale. Been looking for two months. Buying 60 points direct at 186. Getting 2020 points banked into 2021 and then asking MS to help me with an exchange of points where the 60 banked 2020 points from the direct sale can replace some 2021 points that I have tied up in an existing AKV 1 bedroom for May 22. The guide stated it is totally doable. Also: in retrospect of the contract I tried to buy 3 times from a seller who needs a specific price of no lower that $152 on the listed $161 pp AKV contract: I understand that you may need that price. It's hard to beat direct though when getting 60 extra points and pro-rated dues for 2021. I realize a savings of $34 ppt is savings, but with a small contract, lower closing costs, and "free" 2020 points with no restrictions, I gotta go direct. I figured that with the extra points sold at a 15.5 rate, that's $930 value off of the $2040 savings which results in a loss of $1110 by going direct. Factor in a smaller amount of closing, say $110 to make things tidy, and I lost out on a 1K savings. Subtract about $230 in pro-rated dues savings, and $770 in savings is not working for me. Pros: unrestricted, immediate, done. Can't justify resale at a firm $152 counter. This leaves this single mom with 500 points for my future with grandkids one day. (Hard price, though, when I bought AKV last Oct. for $100 ppt.)

Have you considered paying a little more? You’re giving Disney a bunch of cheap points.

Wow! I hope it’s true!

I agreed resale small points are insane and it’s better to go direct for it.
