That's the price my 100pt BWV contract was taken at too. Sorry, it sucks.

So I have sent 7 contracts to ROFR and so far the only one I got through was AUL because they don't buy it back. Back to the drawing board...... I just wish I knew what BLT could pass for. There are so many BLT contracts right now that there are deals to be had but will Disney take all of them back?

 

[Chia1974]

Wow, 9 days! At least you can hurt for your next deal quickly.

Bloodbath Saturday....

 

[DonMacGregor]

For those of us with sales pending through Fidelity, and deals submitted around the 1st, it's gonna be a long and anxious weekend, as they aren't open today or tomorrow to report any ROFR decisions from Disney.

There are a TON of BLT contracts out there. No way Disney takes them all back. I think you could pass at $155pp. Probably much safer in the 160’s.

Exactly. It's why I don't want to pay in the 160's. I rather take the chance. The agent I was just speaking with said he just had 8 contracts taken this morning. Disney is in a buying mood.

 

[Ginamarie]

Beach Club, Boardwalk and Copper Creek. They’re on a buying bender!

 

[gskywalker]

Tried for the twin CCV contract to the one I just lost but they didn't want to match the price, so I have offers out probably for 10+ BLT contracts, who wants to join me on another spree of having Disney take all the BLT contracts like I had last November?

Get ready for Beach Club to be the next "promotion" for sold-outs...

ROFR is a great business model for Disney:

People spend tons of hours going through all the listings at every resale site, then negotiate the best price and terms possible…then Disney comes in and takes the best deals.

I also try to get the best deal, but not ones that have virtually no chance to pass.

At some point I place a value on my time, and my ability to start using points, as opposed to the off chance my unicorn of a deal passes ROFR.

I can understand that. Honestly its like a video game for me sometimes. The OKWE I just had taken, I was pretty sure it was going to be taken and either I get a screaming deal or I get the fun of negotiating more contracts. When I agreed to the CCV I thought it had a chance until Disney started taking every CCV contract.

If you don’t mind the time lost, then go for it! BLT direct sells for $245pp. Disney buying them back at 160pp is a steal and very lucrative business for them.

Do people consider playing board games, going on rides at Disney, playing video games, gardening, etc. "Time lost", depending on the person, they equate to the same. Relaxing, enjoyment, fun. I am a numbers guy, so this gives me some numbers besides the stock markets and my fantasy sport pools to have fun in. Plus eventually I will get something. If I had told you I would get $70 per point for Aulani this year, what would someone say, it will never happened, and yet it did.

Dang. Maybe Disney will take them all

 

[gskywalker]

We will know the DVC apocalypse has come when they take that $120 Riviera contract that was around this morning, lol.

Any great business model is a situation in which the customer enjoys the process and the business.

I’m with you in the sense that I enjoy the “chase” for a good deal, and Disney gets to enjoy the time everyone takes to find the best deals.
