Selling 1/3 of our points- got an offer!

[SaraSpringsIsHome]

Just wanted to post this somewhere because nobody understands, lol.

We have 2 contracts, and after much discussion we have decided to sell the smaller of the contracts.

We have begun traveling to different destinations besides Disney and it seems silly to have over 300 points for just the two of us.

It’s bittersweet because the contracts were purchased when my Mom was still alive. We will still have 200 points, so plenty to still enjoy but it’s still been emotional.

Anyway, send good vibes that our contract will sell quickly and for a good price!

ETA: We went through DVC resale market and our SSR contract had an offer that we accepted two days after it was listed. They have been great to work with so far!

ETA 7/17: Contract submitted to ROFR

No harm in selling a contract you don't plan on using much, now another family can enjoy it.

I'm sure your mom would be happy to see you and your partner going on some new adventures and it's not like you won't be back

Good thoughts on getting the points sold quickly. I am sure your mom would be happy to know you are using the 200 points you have left to enjoy Disney and the money from the sale for something that makes you two happy.

The best thing is that DVC worked when you needed it to for your travel needs and now it’s one to new adventures!!

Good luck! Please report any PMs you might get from posting this inquiring about the sale.

Just got a very good offer on the contract and have accepted. So much quicker than I anticipated!!

Hoping the rest of the process goes smoothly

Update- contract fully closed and we received our funds today. Bittersweet, but knowing we still have 200 points helps

Rejoice. You just cut your dues by a third and can put that towards your future vacations too!

Congrats on selling, did the sale go through or did the contract get taken by ROFR?

Another option instead of selling would be to rent your points, either all or some of them. That way should you decide to go to WDW again or get grand children you still have all of your points.

Curious, aren't we allowed to ask how the sale went in private messages?

That was about PMs asking to buy their contract.

We don’t want people to PM people who ask general questions on the boards about potentially selling and we ask posters to report.

The reason is to prevent fraud from happening as well as the fact is that we don’t allow people to use the boards as For Sale.

In terms of reaching out to someone else to see if they want to share info about their own experience, it’s not prohibited per se, but be aware that some posters may see that as intrusive.

The sale went through- it was a really smooth process from start to finish.

We were looking to pay off some debt and lower monthly bills- this did both of those things (the sale proceeds and maintenance fees) and we still have a 200 point contract!

We are childless millennials so it’s just us traveling

It might not seem like a ton, but $83/month is about $1000/year!

Very grateful for all the trips we’ve taken, the points we rented to take trips elsewhere, and the ability to sell for a fair price after almost 20 years of ownership.
