The VGF 2 pricing thread

[dfan_welcomehomeall_19]

One week to go!

 

[SleeplessInTO]

I am both fearful and greedy. Do I buy!!??

Got the go ahead from DH to buy 150 points at GFV if the price is below $255/pt.

So if VGF2 comes in at $207 (as this thread believes) what does that do to ALL of the resale contracts listed above that price ? I would think they get taken down / dropped. Then all of the other contracts will also have to dip because so many of them arent too far behind VGF in their inflated price. The whole resale system will blow up. And all those pretentious sales guides will be pissed off over their reduced commissions. Armageddon ensues

Any resale contract price will adjust up or down based on where direct ends up. If direct is $207 I’d expect gfv resale belongs in the $160 and below range

As to other resorts, no, resale prices will not be impacted. Those are sold out resorts or in the case of riv already priced accordingly

I don’t know about that. Resale seems like a volume business to me. Assuming commission is 9%, if the price of a contract drops by $5,000 that’s only a change of $450 in the commission. But a lower price may attract more buyers, increasing the number of people able to afford a resale contract.

I have no knowledge at all of the resale side of being a guide. I just feel like moving inventory is more important than selling it for as high a price as possible.

Remember, for new buyers, it’s a 150 point minimum. So a smaller point contract could retain a higher price and still represent a savings. And even higher point contracts around $180 will save $27 pp, which isn’t small change either. We might not see as much downward pressure in resale as we all initially anticipated.

There was speculation previously about the guides being trained already vs not being trained already.

I have confirmed that guides are being trained on 3/2. I imagine we will know pricing before we go to bed that night.

Does anyone have a guess at the incentive dollar amounts and where those point breaks will be at? I know we don’t know, but how about those guesses?

When I added on at RIV, it was $9 off at 125 points. So that’s my guess at that point quantity. If we go with RIV’s current pricing structure, that comes to $198/point ($207-$9=$198). I’d be all over 125 points at $198/point direct.

I have no clue. But I like your guess! Although I assume member incentives are going to be better than non-member by at least a couple dollars. Oh well, maybe when I add on at DLT later there will be good incentives

I posted a few pages back what the incentives were at opening for current members for Riviera
I'm betting it will be similar. But... we shall see!

I have a hard time thinking that Boardwalk or other Legacy hotels could be listed for sale higher than VGF.

One week to go!

Is it official that sale price will be announced a week from today?

LAX

Points available for purchase for current DVC members as of March 3.

 

[DVCsloth]

Best Guess $207 before incentives for current members, maybe $198 for 150 points.

 

[Ruttangel]

Wow! What a time to launch a high priced luxury product into the market as geopolitical tensions are rising quickly. I think that DVC has set the price and is unlikely to change it as a result but curious on thoughts...

I struggled to sleep last night thinking of those poor Ukrainian families, some probably Disney fans just like us. DVC seems irrelevant right now to me

Sold out resort vs 2,000,000 new points. Apples to oranges

Inflation is the biggest risk here for dvc. Life will go on in other parts of the world. We will numb to the senseless violence in a month or two I’m afraid

sanctions will devastate the Russian economy and prices around the globe for fuel and foodstuff will increase. All of this being manageable but inflation could balloon and it’s inflation that will worry dvc and make them pause

they may try to be greedy and price gfv high as some wish. Personally I think these events solidified a low price of $207

selling gfv at $255 was going to be hard before Russian events, I’d call it impossible now as inflation increases and prices for everyday items goes up

I would not expect a base price lower than $207 as that’s the floor for dvc now. But I fully expect a base price of $207 with massive incentives

I hope you are right!
I’m struggling to decide if I’m going to add on and if so, how many points to purchase. (I wish they would just tell us the price already! I need time to think/plan!)
If it’s $255 as some think, I’m out. If it’s $207, then I’ll add. If there are massive discounts, then I’ll add even more. I’ve tried to set a dollar amount in my head to determine how many points I buy, but I’m concerned that I might not stick to it next week with all of my excitement!

Personally, I think there is too much risk and uncertainty to justify a price higher that $207 less incentives at this point. I think I am not alone in suddenly having second thoughts as to whether I want to buy more points at this time!

Given world events and inflation I am planning on making sure I have plenty of cash on hand and any dvc purchase coming from excess funds

squeaking by on fumes to buy dvc would be a really bad idea as who knows what prices for basic necessities will be in six months
