The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[Laxmom]

Ok, I took my pill and I am better now.

I guess I feel like I still have no control over my contract and won't until it is over so to me, this whole thing has been like riding a bus with Mickey driving. Now the lawyer is driving but he still has big ears. It has been fun sharing my bus with all of you, though.

Ok, maybe too many pills.

...and my contract has been estoppifying or lawyering for 1 week. Given that, I would have to say waiting for HR to return so we can hear about his trip and see his pictures.

Yessss! I have successfully introduced a new word into the "waiting for ROFR" lexicon!!

I kind of like our little "core" community, and the folks that pass through, briefly, as well. I think we ought to keep this thread alive, and continue to shepherd through the folks that find us along the ROFR journey! We can be like ... ROFR gurus, or something.

Or Disney Llamas?

I was checking out the budget boards. There is a huge thread on people selling old gold. I think I may clean out the jewelry box!!

I've been a bum today. Not much getting accomplished. I am waiting for DS to get home and run to the lacrosse store. He needs stuff for his new stick.

Back to reading about gold. I'll be back!

I saw that thread too and sent some of my old stuff in. I got $321.96!!! I was so excited that I was goingto add to our "Disney fund". But then our AC stopped working and there went that money. Oh well! At least we had the money.

Which one did you use? I am still trying to read to find out if they take SS also. I have an really old charm bracelet from when I was a kid plus a lot of other SS jewelry. It would be nice to get something for that too.

I printed out the stuff to sell my gold too! I have not gotten around to it though.

I used USGB. I think that they do, but I'm not really sure. You could call them and find out. I will tell you though, don't expect a lot for it. Right now they payment for SS is only about $16.85 per ounce.

i HEARD from GMAC today that my contract went to Disney on Monday 4/21. I have a feeling it isn't going to pass.

 

[amandamc8]

OMG! I just had an email telling me we that we have passed ROFR I can't believe it was so fast - we only put our offer in on the 15th!

So that's the first part over with - sounds like the fun really starts now

I am so excited - I can't wait to tell DD later tonight - she doesn't even know that we have decided to buy into DVC!

 

[Laxmom]

Something is better than nothing. I will never wear it and have no daughters. I think I am going with Goodfellows. I just like their website and method better. I have been to the diamond district in NY. Made me a little nervous but that is another story.

I hope you are wrong, TTV. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Did your agent at GMAC say anything?

Congrats Amanda!! Whoo Hooo!!!!

ROFR isn't such a bad word after all! But estoppel is!!!!

 

[Laxmom]

Ok, I am confused. I know, surprise, surprise!! I see MICKEY on the ROFR list for a 2nd attempt but I somehow missed it. I even when to the ROFR thread and see where MICKEY mentions being in ROFR again but I can't for the life of me find the post. Someone fill me in?

 

[minniekissedme]

congrats Amanda...

Had a moment so I wanted to say to all of you "core" people and encourage you all to keep this thread going! Reading about everyone else's experiences has helped keep things in perspective for me...

Still waiting to get the "Boardwalk Closing Documents" email! I don't have a trip planned until June 2009, but I'm hoping to be in the system before Memorial Day so that I can tour the Grand Californian Villas. I only live 30 minutes away from DL, so I think my first case of addonitis will occur with this resort!

Here you go Susan, I think this is what you were asking about: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=24658679&postcount=2604 or maybe not? I'm not sure now? It's been a long day............

 

[Laxmom]

Hey Cherta! Good luck with your closing and check back in and let us know the details of those GCV's. I won't add on there - too far to make sense right now- but maybe someday I'll visit. Loved the Grand Californian Hotel.
