What is the Cash Equivalent of One Point?

[dvcbrad]

Depends how one wants to evaluate the question, but it seems to me it should be the resale value per point. That's realizable value, lower of cost or market from an accounting concept, unless original cost was lower than current resale value. Good luck reaching any consensus on this one!

Recently back from a DL trip with grandson, nieces and nephew, sister and brother-in-law at the Grand California in a 2 bedroom with a DCA PP view.

I walked out of my bedroom after our first night and my nephew, 3 yrs old, comes running up to me and gives me the biggest hug as he's telling me he loves Disneyland.

Cash Equivalent of One Point = Priceless!

I would say to resell (on a rental/transfer basis) it would be today about 10$ a point.

I think sometimes you can rent a little more with a BLT, or BC 11 month window, a rentees are last minute (here on Dis), or holding, ect causing it to be a little lower.. So this could really be closer to 12$ - 14$, but skewed by the I have 82 points in holding i need to get rid of .. 7$-9$ a point. You could also argue the other side, that it is a risk you hold, so 12$ to have to pay MF in 2057 (which could be 20$ a point) bring risk cost into it and down 1-2$ too.

I think 10 is fair for the value of a point.

*I wouldn't sell mine for 10, and I have paid more to rent others.* And I would agree priceless is closer # for the value.

To answqer your question, I would say they are worth $10 per point per year.

Now, if you cna get a 12% return on your investment every year (componuding) then it would be silly and foolish of you to consider buying DVC adn you should simply rent points when you need them as your investment income would be substantial.

I agree with the response that the points are worth somewhere around $6 per point in today's dollars depending on the purchase price and length of time you keep it. This is rough calculation, but I think that it's pretty accurate if inflation averages about 2-3% over the next 40+ years.

There is no cash value for a point. Just ask DVC. That's why they don't allow compensation for transfers.
