ROFR Thread Oct to Dec 2020 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[Sandisw]

I'm not brand new to the resale game, played it a few years ago and been watching the forums. Where I'm going with this is that Disney tries very hard to keep its secrets, but eventually things leak out because, well, we're dealing with human beings. So in all the time that DVD/DVC has been around with resales, there isn't one person on any forum that can shed light on the process? We're all on here guessing at what happens or trying to guess from the trends.....but that's all it is, guessing. People consistently have questions as to why some contracts get taken at 10 days and some at 30, why some pass early, why certain resorts get targeted, how DVD sorts and looks through contracts in ROFR. I could go on and on. Still waiting on that one individual to speak up and say, "well, I worked there for a few years and here's the deal...."

I think former employees feel an obligation and don’t spill but also, as mentioned, things don’t stay the same with ROFR. I mean SSR was passing in the 90s during the first few months of 2020 and now it is not. Why? DVD changed its criteria.

My DD interned in 2014 in the marketing department that dealt with those elusive pin codes that are sent for cash stays and to this day, she doesn’t and won’t talk about what went into helping people get chosen for them, even though she is in a different division now.

Awesome! I'm waiting on AKV from 10/8. Hopeful to hear today! That's a great price on a 100pt contract! Well done!

Congratulations, that’s a good price. I’m still waiting for a AKV from 10/5 - there really is no rhyme or reason to which contracts they are looking at!

I am the seller on this one. 2019 points were banked as were the 2020 into 2021.

Higher price but seller is paying Closing costs, all MF's for 2019 and 20 banked points(266), right use year, and the resort we wanted. We haven't stayed there but have had many years of dealing with Disney Transportation and recognize how much we would love to be walking distance to MK.

Dang $185/point for a 22 year contract. What a heck of a deal for you (the seller).

Correct me if I’m wrong but this is the first BLT contract that has been taken since 1st quarter....

what’s weird is when they take stripped contracts. They then have to sit on them and wait for points to come available before they can resell it.

Makes perfect sense. Someone else has to pay the current year dues and they can sell it immediately in January and have the new buyer pay those dues.

If all they are buying are stripped contracts, then in theory they constantly have new contracts available every new UY on a rolling basis and they're always stocked, so they're buying for future sales and not paying MFs.

Help me understand that? If the contracts are stripped, the points have already been used. How could DVD sell those contacts as points being available immediately?

They can’t add points to a contract, but can change the UY and sell in smaller contracts.

If the contract Is void of say 2020 and 2021 points, that contract can not sell until its 2022 UY.

Ok, same page. That was how I understood it. As magical as Disney is, they can’t create something out of nothing. Points are a zero sum game.

This is a little late, but I used Mason Title in April. NOTHING but nice things to say about the experience. It was actually SUPER fast.

So glad to hear this, this is who is doing ours - we passed ROFR on Friday.

Congrats!!! It’s nice to see PVB under $150/points again! Those Poly contracts going for $155+/point were real head scratchers to me.
