Who pays the $500 will likely vary depending on how desperate either the buyer or the seller are.

I think it will be paid by the buyer on most occasions, but the price per point will likely reflect some sort of adjustment to compensate for this extra fee.

All the more reason VGC are more attractive.

It also costs a lot more.

But no resale restrictions and will hold it's value a lot better.

Based on buy in cost, if I wanted to own at VGC and thought I’d ever sell…I would probably just rent from Disney. VGC (in my opinion) is strictly a buy and hold, never use elsewhere, til death do us part contract. It may as well have resale restrictions because using those points elsewhere is painful!

I understand, I own both.

There are SO many factors when considering these resorts and the TOT is only part of it.

1) VGC resale is restricted from staying VDH inventory
2) VGC direct and resale are about $100pp more than corresponding VDH.
3) VGC point chart is worse for 1 bd’s most of the year.
4) VGC studio inventory is extremely difficult.
5) VDH resale is restricted from everything but VDH.
6) VDH has a low % in villas of inventory.
7) VDH has TOT.
Etc.

I actually think the thing to compare is VGC resale to VDH direct. VGC resale is likely still $50pp or more. VDH direct can be used at both resorts.

A $500 transfer fee sure won’t ever be paid by this buyer lol. Soon sellers will pay us just to take it off their hands.

Congrats on all the “passes”…resale is the way.

I’m guessing it will be paid by the buyers more often on most resorts, but paid for by the sellers on the low value 2042, and restricted resorts.
But eitherway reflected in the price paid per point.

Never really looked at it that way, but it is true I don’t plan to sell or use VGC points elsewhere, so resale VDH may not be terrible if the price is right.
