Just checked today, and looks like RIV is back at 50 point minimum (cash or financing).They changed that awhile ago so I think they are allowing 25 now.
That stinks!! $155 was a good price. We are awaiting our CCV decision.gabieb---$155-$25129-150-CCV@WL-Aug-0/20, 143/21, 150/22-seller pays MF '21- sent 11/30, taken 12/28
I saw that one too & I was too slow !Okay, so who here bought the 25 point Sept UY AKV for $130 PP? It got listed yesterday and by the time I saw it - like an hour later...it was gone! It certainly has a high risk of ROFR, but it was worth a try.
I sure hope someone here got it as it was pretty loaded LOL!

I don't think the member fees plays into Disney's ROFR decision, but I do think that wait lists and inventory maintenance play into it as a possible (but clearly not the only) explanation.While the Seller paying the 2021 MF brings the per point price down, I'm also looking at that "taken" - could it just be someone wanted to buy a CCV August UY direct so Disney waited for one to grab and resell? It makes sense Disney would have a running list of "wants". That would explain why it is nearly impossible to predict what will be taken.

But they are already an "owner" and paying fees on all the points they own to begin with. I don't think a few hundred dollars here or there is going to move that needle any, versus flipping 200 or 300 points and realizing a $30k profit. Since they are, in essence, paying themselves through MF's, I wouldn't doubt some creative accounting would absorb those (relatively) small numbers anyway. I agree that anything else is definitely on the table (and maybe mostly banked points versus stripped contracts because THAT they can't spreadsheet away).I think they look at at all and final cost is lower when a current owner pays the fees vs a buyer.
When it comes to ROFR, I don’t believe any aspect is off the table.

I kinda thought that might be the case (or something similar or more artfully stated), but I am not as nearly as knowledgeable as many on here regarding that. So, whether a seller or buyer is paying MF's becomes moot if Disney takes the points through ROFR (they would become the new owner and therefore free from paying the MF's)?In exchange for guaranteeing to cover expense overage of the budget DVC does not pay dues on points they own.
