Here's a quote from Tom Yeary, the owner of The Timeshare Store, which was posted recently on Beca's thread referenced above:
"Counter-offer?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I for one, would be VERY interested in how Disney let you make a counter offer within 10 days. You probably recall a post I made not too long ago, when we were told by Disney in no uncertain terms to "BACK-OFF" after a contract was ROFR'd.
If this were possible, do you folks have any idea how many HAPPY people could walk away from ROFR?
If you are unable to post the details on this board, would you please send a PM to me about it?
Thanks,
Tom"
It has to be very frustrating for reputable business people like Tom to try to represent buyers and sellers fairly in an environment where the rules can change on somebody's whim...and I think you can hear Tom's frustration coming through in the above post.
I've been watching the ROFR thread daily for the last six months, and I've only seen two situations where Disney allowed a counter-offer. And both of those were contracts being sold privately by the owners...not in the general resale market.
I repeat what I said earlier - If you are submitting an offer, make sure your offer is sufficient to pass ROFR. Don't take the unnecessary risk of hoping you will be the one person out of a thousand who benefits from someone's mood swing.
