The VGF 2 pricing thread

[SleeplessInTO]

We may be able to see it with what happens with BLT because those carry no restrictions and have an incentive now bringing it close to RIV.

So, it’s possible we could get insight sooner because of that. I think we Do know that many current owners haven’t bought RIV because of restrictions so I imagine sales for VGF when it just owners will do well, especially if it is close to RIV.

I think it will be an exciting few months to see how the numbers shake out. If it ends up that VGF takes a big portion away from RIV, then it s very possible DVD could choose to remove them.

I’m not sure the BLT sale will be indicative - it is not being advertised the way RIV and VGF2 are. I wouldn’t have known about it without reading these boards.
I do think the comparison of RIV and VGF2 sales will be interesting. But if Disney prices Grand Floridian significantly higher than $200/point, I’d probably go with a resale contract instead of buying direct at Riviera.

I know this has been discussed before, but do you really think the sales guides are going to mention the resale restrictions? People on here are savvy, but we probably delete sent a small portion of total sales.

No, they don’t unless someone asks. Personally I don’t think it’s making a dent in sales for new owners, but some who own already or people like these boards have definitely decided it’s an issue.

I think it was more that with BLT going close to RIV..one with and one without the restrictions..at least we can have something to compare and see if it leads to any meaningful info!!!

True but when buyers go to buy and are hesitant right now, it may come up. So if we see a larger than normal BLT sales it could indicate something.

But I do think that the VGF vs RIV battle will be a good one if priced close to each other.

Yes I’m getting my popcorn ready! Can’t wait to see the sales numbers for March and April (first month for existing members, first month for new members).

I wish more sales guides would mention it so we could possibly see that skewing to VGF that would get them to drop these restrictions.

In theory VGF2 sales should crush Riviera for the first several months since there's likely a lot of pent up demand and hype for it and it's the shiny new thing. Ho hum. I'm more interested to see several months down the line how their sales compare once the beginning rush has subdued.

My guide said they were coming in early on the 3rd to handle demand.

I certainly would be in early if being late meant risking losing my commission to somebody picking up off the dial tree rather than buying their own guide

 

[Sandisw]

Which I hope is a hint that the price will be low $200/s

My guide did say he was looking forward to talking to me on the 3rd so I am trying To infer that means I’ll be happy with the price!!!

I would think if any guides knew the price we’d all know by now. Maybe it will be like a bad Xmas morning. Imagine how excited they are thinking how much 200/pt VGF they could sell and then they sit down at their desk at 5 am March 3 with their grande mocha Frappuccino ready to make some cash, open their e-mail and bam, 245 a pt.

I am pretty confident he knows the price based on our conversations and some of what we discussed.

But didn’t give any information that would allude to where it will fall. I’m grasping at that comment!!!! Lol

based on my last call with my guide something tells me they know something, perhaps not exact price but range

We took a look at just that as we've been looking to get rid of our CCV for RIV. The problem is the 10 year difference. We like BLT more than we like RIV, so we kind of went for $9/pt - $2,250 total we could get BLT instead of RIV. But then we thought about it and we'd have 10 years less. To pay more to get less was a bit worrisome.

That being said, we're also wondering why we worried about resale restrictions if we're thinking about getting that last 10 years...

Just get both!

Unfortunately that seems to be the way my addiction is going. I just made an offer on SSR in the time that I posted to this reply...

 

[Epcot Forever Forever]

If the guides knew the price, we’d know the price.

First day of a “new” offering and new incentives should certainly have big demand

I don’t think they know a price, but I believe they may have been told a price range

My CM told me last week that he knew pricing but could not risk losing his job since all calls are recorded.

The difference is BLT is not being actively marketed. No matter what, those sales will be small relative to DVC as a whole.
