View attachment 526293

I was doing pretty good until I started to see the 8/10s, 8/11s, and even 8/12 and 8/13 start to show up. Now, I think every e-mail that comes in is going to be "the one."

Hey, get back in line buddy! I am ahead of you ;) I'm hoping we both hear by Friday. Though you got a better deal then I did!!!

E2ME2---$142-$4,890-30-BCV-Jun-0/19, 30/20, 30/21, 30/22- sent 9/16

Now for the 3-4 months of nail-biting ! :earboy2:
Seller paid 2020 Dues, not prorated :thumbsup2
& Should become available in time to bank 2020 Points.
Plan to use alternate, or even every 3, years for 11Mo. advantage at BCV.
I had been looking for BWV, but have had no luck finding a small contract with my June Use Year.
(I actually thought I had bid on a BWV Contract, as I was under the wrong listings at the Fidelity site and, when I realized my mistake, called agent to change the bid. It definitely would have been too low for BCV (Yes-I actually bid against myself :sad2: ) Fortunately though, I was the fist bidder, and we negotiated with the seller within an hour.
Now for a little Pixie Dust !
ET:darth:

Good luck, that is a pretty low price, especially for a small contract! It's contracts like these that I don't see Disney really wanting back, but what do I know. Why would they want to spend $142 a point plus closing costs for 30 points?
 
Sure - we are paying since we will be getting the 2020 points. She had already banked them. May be a terrible deal, but I felt it was “fair”

Although it's fun to get a deal, the reality is that the final difference between great deals and "terrible" deals is not usually that much, especially when amortized over the term of the contract. Plus, most resales are a great deal compared to buying direct. I was seeing a lot of posts with better per-point costs than my recent contract, which made me feel a little down. Then I started browsing the direct sale deeds, and I quickly felt better. Just the other day I saw a direct sale of 500 BLT points for $117,500 ($235 per point).

Good luck with ROFR!
I wish I could get some Pixie Dust with sellers paying MF. Have never been able to get that!
 
Hi, if you don't mind answering (otherwise just ignore!), how much of the seller's 2019 or 2020 dues were you asked to pay for as part of this purchase? (I see a lot of points pre-2021.) And were the 2019 and/or 2020 dues due at closing?
the seller covered the dues on the 123 points from 2018 and 160 points from 2019 and we split the 2020 points 1/2 1/2
 
amymike159: $95/point- $16325-175-OKW(Extended) Feb-0/19, 0/20, 54/21, 175/22-Seller gives $950 credit for 2021 dues- sent 8/11/20


PASSED 9/14/2020!!!

So excited to finally be joining your club!!!! (And thought we did pretty good with this contract... being our first one!)
Congrats. Great price.

Thanks; I hope you are right !

I really appreciate this response. You start to second guess your offer when you see that others have gotten AKV for less per point. But since I am not financing the cost, the difference between $110 per point and $105 is nominal. The numbers just made sense to me and I felt it was a fair deal to myself and the seller. I hope In the end it works out for us. We had looked into buying direct for the last five years and I could never make financial sense of that since we rented points each year and I felt we came out ahead. With these resale contracts, the numbers finally make sense to me. Additionally, covid showed me that renting is risky through Davids or any other rental broker. I would rather have more control over my reservations.
