Typo corrected. There are 160 pts for 24'
It was $140 and took a bit of haggling, offered $115 and then $118 and said final bid $120.

So excited!!!!!!
Still $13,000 for a 10% discount card (plus a few other extras); when you can get resale for $100.
I honestly don’t think sellers are bothered about getting lowball offers, getting any offer is a chance for them to negotiate you up to their happy price too. I dealt with a lovely broker who said they are struggling to get sellers to reduce listings, they think that last years peak will come again soon.Congrats on such an amazing deal! I'm so happy to read this because you're giving us hope!! We are getting ready to put an offer in, and I was telling DH that offering $20 less per point sounds like super lowballing and I'm afraid it might be insulting to the sellers! We are going to try anyways because the worst thing can happen is they say no or counter. Well now we are more hopeful!

So I would just offer whatever you want even if it’s $50+ less, heck I offered $125 on a 75pt listing at $191 and they countered at $155, we didn’t agree a sale but it still peaked their interest.
I saw that contract and wanted to get it, but my husband said 200pt was too much. Congratulations!Mrsp---$120-$24904-200-BCV-Aug-0/21, 0/22, 315/23, 200/24- sent 3/30
Couldn’t resist!
Don’t feel like that. I offered $40 under listing price and got it on an animal kingdom one! Good Luck.Congrats on such an amazing deal! I'm so happy to read this because you're giving us hope!!

I have not done a lot of cross checking but the small number I did check the sellers either sold for more than they originally paid or a very small amount under.I honestly don’t think sellers are bothered about getting lowball offers, getting any offer is a chance for them to negotiate you up to their happy price too.

Agreed! Swing for the fences. We offered $38 under list and got an immediate (two hours) acceptance, no counter, on an amazing BCV double loaded.Don’t feel like that. I offered $40 under listing price and got it on an animal kingdom one! Good Luck.
Yes, but we use a lot of points as well.Wow!
We just put in for our first contract - can I ask, do you rent the points out?
We were bidding on that $108 AKL contract that you purchased. We said no more then $105.
I also offered $40 under listing and it was accepted without any counter on my Boardwalk one.Don’t feel like that. I offered $40 under listing price and got it on an animal kingdom one! Good Luck.
yes, it's much less stressful without the ROFR monster, but all of these passed contracts have created such a backlog in terms of closing documents and membership emails!! we passed ROFR on 2/24 and I and the sellers both returned our docs within TWO days of getting them, but i am STILL waiting for disney to send our membership email. there's always a catch somewhere!!Resale buying is such a happy place right now with these great low prices and historically quick ROFR…. it’s like an all you care to enjoy buffet, so tempting to go back for that 2nd and 3rd serving
Amazing - congratulations!!Yes, but we use a lot of points as well.
