ROFR Thread Oct to Dec 2020 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

I agree it is so hard to wait when you know what you want! I have been casually looking for a small (under 50) Oct HHI which is definitely a "unicorn" and it popped up early one morning. I need it to plan out that 4-5 week trip starting at HHI, so I have to have the 11 month advantage and then move to BRV and OKW.

I get up a bit after 4 am and DH around 5 am...that gives me time to "shop" LOL! I've found nearly all my deals at that hour before anyone else scoops them up. I give DH a few minutes to drink coffee and then spring it on him!

Closing costs are higher in SC, so more reason to shoot for a lower price on HHI. It will show up when you least expect it!

I have Feb use year, and I need around 50-75 points. DVC Store has had a 34 point contract for awhile now but it’s not enough points and I don’t want to have to buy another 25 point contract and get stuck with closing costs twice.
Three contracts went up on DVCResaleMarket last week but at $93 a point. I bid on them but the seller won’t even get back to me on the offer. I also found a 65 point contract on Fidelity but again like $85/point and they wouldn’t negotiate. The right one will come along, just not yet.

I just came across this thread and now am worried Disney will take the contract we just signed today. We signed today for $92/pt on 200pts @ SSR. 160/2020, 200/2021, 200/2022. Seems odds are against us now. We currently own 160pts at SSR which we bought for $77/pt in 2016 so I didn't think $92 was all that bad but now these contracts seem much higher.

You never know! Disney can’t take them all.
They’ve been on a kick with Saratoga contracts under $100 (they took my 300 point offer at $97 last month), but I saw some other contracts slip through at lower prices. If it goes through, you got yourself a great deal.

I sure hope so! Crossing my fingers. We booked for November 2021 and were short points due to only being allowed to borrow 50% from 2022. So I figured I would just buy another contract with the same use year and not have to worry about borrowing again.

Another one bites the dust. I think that means they have taken 3 out of 3 for me(might have been 4 can't remember now). Disney loves to eat their blts

Very odd. I sent one to ROFR the same exact day as you. Same Resort. Same Use Year. 200 points. More loaded. Lower price per point and it passed ROFR.

it’s so crazy- I wonder if it depends on which person at DVC is reviewing the file and what their mood is that day.

Oh my gosh! Super! Will you share what the asking price was on this and your initial offer?

I have made a few low ball offers (higher than this) and the sellers did not even bite. This was months ago and their properties are still for sale.

Actually, this was already priced really low, somewhere in the low $130s if I recall...so this was my first and only offer. I'm not sure it has a chance as the only one close to it this quarter was taken, but I am looking to basically swap our BWV for BCV if possible with minimal financial outlay (cue @ScubaCat saying "I Told You So" in 3....2....1....) .

I’ve never heard of an Aulani contract being taken in ROFR from Disney but I’m a little concerned about this one. If they are ever going to take one I feel like this would be i — banked points, subsidized dues and a low contract price of $80/pt. It’s also a guaranteed week at the Aulani for a week that would now cost more points than what is stated in the original contract.

I don’t think I’ve seen them taking Aulani. That’s an epic sized contract though- hoping it goes through for you. We plan on using a lot of points for a big family trip to Aulani in 2022, and I’m afraid I’ll be shopping Aulani contracts once we get back from Hawaii.

 

[LadybugsMum]

Aulani is still being sold direct; so I don’t imagine they’ll take it.

They should take another $4 a point off for what you do here.

Wow. Huge contract and great price! Down the road, it’s size might make a resale difficult.

Tired of quarantining in cold weather - & looking forward to quarantining where it's warmer
