I was all in on a Poly contract until they announced the tower. Now I really want to see if it's a new association or not before purchasing POLY1 resale or POLY2 direct. I switched gears and went with Aulani instead for now.
Yeah- I’m actually not a big fan of PVB because we don’t really stay in studios.. I just love a good deal.
Don’t know what qualifies as “low ball” but we had a decently loaded 220 pt contract (102 banked from 21 and 162 current year points) offer accepted in less than an hour at $10 under asking. We got it for $157/pt. Seems most have been going between 165-175. I felt great about it.
Funds were wired on 6/1
It should be, because international seller.
I can tell you we just bid on 3 when our SSR got taken Monday. We bid $160 on one that was stripped and $163 with 1/2 points and $165 with none for this year but a March UY so full points coming 2023. They were all different companies and all were going to take it, but we were haggling on CC. We went with $163 because seller was paying CC and the dues on 22 points even though we got half of them.
The $160’was a great deal too. It was advertised $175 and we offered $160 with them be paying CC and they took it if we paid closing. We went with other one because it was a better UY.
No worries you are new here
to the DISboards. I wish you luck in the ROFR roller coaster. AKV is one of my favorite DVC properties.
Thanks. I actually was always on here YEARS ago when my kids were little but now that they are grown we are finally buying into DVC, hahaha, and I am trying to get to my target point goals for bigger family trips and collect them in contracts that can be handed down. We do have direct but the resale game is new and fun! Couldn’t remember my old name and that email for sure doesn’t exist anymore so, new stage in life, new me.No worries you are new here
So are you using Aulani as SAP? I’ve read all the advice not to buy beach resorts because of the MF but Aulani seems low and has been around for a bit now. I’m curious why people don’t collect these as SAP- or do they? What am I missing?
Since I am already a DVC member and this contract has the same name & use year, I hope it won't take too much longer for these new points to load 
Some people do use Aulani as SAP, but if you're planning a WDW trip with them, you have nothing at WDW until the 7 month mark. There may or may not be availability.
OK, so I guess not a bad strategy if you had all the WDW home resorts that you wanted already but otherwise smarter to get home field advantage first. I think that is how I am understanding it.
I’ve already been doing that
but no takers on anything low enough to tickle my pickle yet
