As I have just entered the market for DVC resale, I am using this thread as a way to make sure I am offering fair but good offers for my family. I don’t like overpaying for something and I appreciate those that post on here. I may not get that “special” deal, but knowing I am not spending too much is important.

Yup, that's exactly how we used it as well! And after only a week and 3 rejected offers, it seems I'll be posting back to this thread soon with our accepted offer -- which isn't some incredible deal but is under asking and "in the ballpark" for contract size and points status which I only know because of this forum. I probably could've done better, but I definitely could've done a lot worse without ROFR thread.

 

[AstroBlasters]

Someone who gets an amazing deal probably isn’t too concerned about selling it, so deflationary effect seems minimal. In any event I think it’s all balanced by the brokers who report resale prices significantly higher than what we see in the ROFR threads.

Oh, I think someone who gets a great deal on a contract could pull the trigger to sell more quickly if they had better uses for the money because it will be a lot easier to make their money back.

^ of course, anything is possible, but seems a pretty crappy way to make a not very big profit after all of the closing fees, ROFR waits, etc. Even looking at that AUL 1,000 pt deal for $60 per point, so the seller turns around and sells it for $70-75 per point? That 10-15K before any of the other costs, Hawaii tax, etc, not to mention the time lost in dealing with this, would certainly not be worth it to me. I say that despite that I don't have $60,000 to dump into DVC in the first place!

I don’t think most people going in expecting to flip it, but life happens and other opportunities can present themself.

If you can sell something for around what you purchase it for after stripping out a few years worth of points then it’s not a bad trade.

If someone has to sell at a significant discount for what they bought it for then they will generally not sell unless they have to (ignoring that the initial purchase was a sunk cost).

 

[disneylandtour]

Yeah 1000 point and stripped to the bone….

So that's probably $40pp worth of lost value on that contract for the two years of missing points.

Depends on how you value it, but $20 to $40 is where most people would put it.

I've been away too long apparently. Looked at the aggregator today and felt like prices have gone up. What'd I miss?

Yep they have. ROFR thread also feels slower so prices have went up and I think less people are biting and buying.

I saw those listings and thought…. who would be ridiculous enough to pay that much for restricted points at a high dues resort with the TOT…. glad you found someone.

Congrats!! This sale gives me the warm fuzzies as a VDH owner of at least 1 small contract.

Curious how come you decided to let it go?

I know Fidelity isn't everyone's cup of tea, but sometimes it works out in your favor. I got an email this week about FIRPTA and realized that my fear of ROFR is now unfounded. Fidelity forgot to mention that the sellers are from Canada. I've been saying all along that if this contract is meant to be, it will come through, and if it's not, we'll be fine. This is a strong indicator that we're supposed to own at OKW.

This will be my husband's and my first DVC contract if it passes ROFR. Now to be patient for it to pass or not pass.

sent 11/8 PASSED 12/9

Congrats and thank you for posting! We have one sent 11/19, so it looks like it’ll be at least another week or two to hear back

Yea, I have two contracts in ROFR and thought they would have been passed or taken by now. Seems Disney is way behind their normal timeline. One of mine is over 4 weeks since we sent it in.
