The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[icouldlivethere]

I just emailed Nancy again to ask her again if she had received my paperwork yet and she emailed me back to say that she had both my paperwork and the sellers paperwork and we are still scheduled to close April 21st which is reassuring.

My really happy place!

 

[tammymacb]

Tammy, did you buy through 2 different agencies on your two contracts?

Yes, one through TTS ( BWV ) and the other through ********.

 

[tammymacb]

Wow...amazing! Starred it right out....Yes, the other from the same person you sent me the email from..

 

[Laxmom]

I like both your happy places. Don't like Floatsam or Jetsom there in the second one though.

HR, did you go thru TTS also?

It will be interesting to see how the two experiences compare in the end on both of your contracts, Tammy. If the latter one goes smoother.......well, then we have an idea of where the problem was.

Remember, earlier someone discovered if you misspelled her name, it would post.

 

[Laxmom]

Not to change the subject but...Tammy, do you have an underwater camera? We do enough snorkeling that I would like to look into one but don't want to buy a housing for my Nikon D50.

 

[tammymacb]

Those were taken with a Sealife, which has recently been upgraded to about a million dollar olympus with the ikelite housing and ikelite external flashes.

The new rig cost as much as the BCV add on and weighs about 50 pounds. Can't wait to see how well DH dives with it...

For those of us who are not in the know. Is there a way for you to let us know what the **'s represent?

I too am very interested in seeing how your two experiences compare.

Either Olympus or Nikon makes a good land camera that's waterproof to 10 feet. It would be a great little camera for someone who doesn't dive but wants a decent camera for both on land and underwater pictures.

HR, did you go thru TTS also?

Yes I went through TTS also, the thing I find most confusing is why there is such a large difference in the time frames of these contracts that are all similar in size , date and cost.

Well, it takes great pictures. I want an underwater camera but I want digital. I'm going to keep up my search and give it to my DH for his birthday. He loves taking pictures of any kind but especially underwater. That way, we will have it for our cruise!

See if this works. Tammy bought from Shawntel (spelled wrong of course)

Ha! It worked. She used to work for TTS and left and started her own business, from what I have read.

That is interesting, HR. I hadn't noticed that part of the equasion.

 

[tammymacb]

My husband wants an SLR for his birthday or Christmas. All I know is I'm not paying to rig it for diving...I've spent enough on that to last a lifetime ( and my ikelite is supposed to )

 

[tammymacb]

I was pretty open to any resaler with a good contract. That came along and was perfect ( except I had to decide between OKW and BCV, two contracts with my UY came along in the same day ).

Check out the Nikon. I am really happy with it even though I have been a faithful Canon owner since HS. It takes fantastic pictures. We bought it to take lacrosse shots of DS, of course.

All along I have been thinking the issue was with Disney but maybe it is something with TTS. At this point, who knows, but it will be interesting to see if people who purchased elsewhere have the same issue.

Thanks Laxmom and Tammy for the PM. I see who you're talking about now. I'm looking forward to hearing how your experiences are different with her. Please let us all know how she informs you about passing ROFR. (Because we know you will pass ). I'm most interested in knowing if the communication lines are better over there. I sometimes feel like I'm being treated like an annoying little gnat where I'm at.

I received my closing documents via email yesterday...faxed back today and wired the money to the title company. I passed ROFR on 3-10. My resale is with Jaki & **** (they found the contract I wanted through a co-broker GMAC). Now wondering how long it will be before I can make a reservation.
