I have another one in ROFR as well, that I hadn't posted yet:

SSR 200 Dec 57$ - 200 banked '11; 200 coming Dec '12 and forward - submitted Oct 11. Hoping to hear by next week...It's a different UY, so it'll take a bit of organization, but there just weren't many loaded contracts out there.

Congratulations Liz! So happy that you finally got one...I'm sure the other will follow Still stinks about not getting the BCV You could always try again

Congrats to everyone else who passed this week!!

Thanks Amy,

I have to say that I don't think I'd be this far along if it hadn't been for all of your support! You helped me gain the confidence I needed to just get out there and start making offers. I was just looking back at my notes and emails with you from the early days, and I can't believe all the good contracts I missed out on because I hesitated (like that SSR 210 .

For those of you just starting out, read everything you can, ask for advice, and use this thread to learn about what is possible pricewise on the resale market. Keep making offers and don't give up. Fidelity (Rachel) was by far the best I found for presenting offers in my price range. And don't underestimate the value in negotiating the sellers paying mf's and closing costs. Oh, and be patient!

I was traveling for a couple of weeks and got back to great news. Two new SSR contracts passed ROFR.

1. SSR 100 point Sept use year -- 197 points available (97 banked from 2011 & all 100 for 2012) and all 100 for 2013 and beyond. Submitted to ROFR on 9/24, passed 10/16. Paid $53 per point, buyer paid closing and buyer and seller split membership fees.

2. SSR 200 point point Dec use year -- 400 points available 12/1/2012 (all 200 banked from 2011 & all 200 for 2012) and all 200 for 2013 and beyond. Submitted to ROFR on 10/1, passed 10/30. Paid $51 per point, seller paid closing and membership fees. Did a little better on this one, I am learning...

Thanks to everyone in this forum for the information, It really helped me a lot to be patient, find the right contracts and wait for the right deals to come along! I did get rejected on several others, but I think patience paid off.

Congrats! You did really, really well on these Your SSR 100 is one of those that "got away" because I hesitated on offering...You didn't say it, but that one was listed at 80$/pt, and I honestly didn't even consider the possibility that the seller would fathom going so low... Gotta love Fidelity!

Don't count your chickens before they are hatched... ROFR exercised. Not cool, mouse, not cool.

The broker said this was one of the highest she'd seen exercised. It only took 18 days, so I didn't lose a whole lot of time, but now there's not really anything in my price range. I guess I'll keep looking.

We passed ROFR today - it wasn't a big surprise because we paid handsomely for our membership. We just wanted to get our foot in the door and closed by the end of the year to take advantage of the PAP deal.

50 BWV points, Dec. UY, 100 avail 12/12 (all '11, all '12). $67/pp Buyer pays closing and 1/12 of 2012 mf. Submitted 10/8, waived 11/6 so they took all 30 days.

We are waiting on a larger BLT contract submitted Nov. 2.
220 BLT points, Sept. UY, 220 available 9/13. $75/pp. Seller pays all closing costs and 2012 mf.

[Princess_Jo]

Submitted 10/13 and notified today we passed ROFR!!!!!

150 BCV (Mar) $74, 59 banked '12 points, all '13 points, buyer pays closing and '12 mf on banked points

Now on to closing and booking our first DCV trip!!!!

[heartsy77]

We were notified yesterday we closed and were the official owners of 270 points of BCV on Nov 5!
