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?

Thanks! Well, we have six 50-point contracts and have stayed in nearly all room types at VDH (except 2-BR). We did a reunion/birthday last Labor Day in a 3-BR Grand Villa, which was amazing!!!

We love VDH and will continue to be owners, but decided to cut our ownership in half after recently increasing our VGC points by 160.

After selling this set, I am considering getting rid of the other half in 2025 and getting a FW50 contract. I've resolved to get only FW direct contracts from now on.

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.

The first broker wanted to list much lower, saying almost exactly the same as you. My rationale was that people cannot get singlet 50-point contracts for similar prices after incentives because there are no incentives under 150 points. They would be stuck paying the $239 pp base price.

There is value for many at $189 pp for a 50-pointer that would never be used outside of VDH anyways. Heck, I paid $245 pp for my latest VGC160 contract last month... when 5 years ago I paid $184 pp for the same contract! I've never once used a VGC point as an SAP. One can say they are "self-restricted"... Same with my direct VDH points... "self-restricted".

The folks at DVCResaleMarket.com also saw value and listed it at that price without question. It was actually them that wanted to list it as high as it was.

If the buyer is reading this, you are not ridiculous. In my opinion, it makes eminent sense!

When I bought 150 VGF points direct during the fire sale, I asked my guide about also buying 50 at VDH at the same time. But they wouldn't give me any incentives for the VDH purchase even though combined with VGF it would have been 200 pts. I didn't buy any VDH, and have since bought a VGC contract resale. But it is a deal to get a small point VDH contract at some discount.

LOL, yes, "self-restricted" for VGC points. They're too expensive to use anywhere else. It would be nice if I could use them at VDH as well, but I'll make the best of it.

Direct unrestricted at $239 and restricted to one resort that will always have the TOT at $189 are just not the same thing, IMO.

Especially since they are going to be building some new properties in CA as part of DLand FWD.

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.

....I will be the truthteller, I think you are definitely overpaying on this contract, it's a "large" contract so therefore price should be lower and the price per point is already "high" so double whammy. ROFR protection for all resorts is probably done for awhile and with annual dues for 2025 kicking in there will be plenty of good buying opportunities upcoming. If that 12/1 is a typo, def consider cancelling. If not, well Welcome Home!

I appreciate the candidness. If I were spending this much money I’d want someone to tell me to be sure I understood what I was buying.

Thank you for the information, but the 12/1 is not a typo, so would be past the point of being able to cancel. When we decided to purchase this resale we based its price against the cost of buying at this same resort direct and it was a savings of over $29,000. Yes we might have been able to get the price per point a little cheaper which our resale sales associate explained, but would also possible run a higher risk of having ROFR be more interested in the contract.

Walk-back accepted..."not the same thing" is better than "ridiculous".
