Anyone made it through (or not made it through) ROFR recently? - Section V

[disbound09]

disbound09 --- 320 SSR (Aug), $53, all '12 & '13 pts, buyer pays mf, split closing (sub 1/31)

Finally passed today. Was actually supposed to be submitted on 1/14 TBS didn't turn submit until 1/25?? But 2/25 finally passed ROFR The broker didn't even bother to text, call or email. Found out from title company when I called about the contract amount being incorrect. Finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. TBS is a joke as far as handling a DVC timeshare.

So are you saying you were ROFR'd, or you passed? Who is TBS?

TBS is timeshare broker services or sell my timeshare now... both are TBS as in TOTAL BS to deal with. I passed ROFR but did not hear from broker to confirm just got email with closing statements and documents needed to complete transaction. Would've been great but they were off by over $500.00 and didn't mention the 320 2012 points only the 2013 points so I am waiting until tomorrow to hopefully get someone on the line to straighten it out, before I sign the paperwork. GONG SHOW!!

I'm finally a DVC Member after thinking about it for 9yrs lol.

I started small with only 50pts at VWL. $70 a pt I figured its only my son and me. We usually do the Disney Cruise along with the resorts once a year. And with the price of flights these days I cant go as much as I'd like.

Anyway sent deposit 1/21/13 passed RFR 2/21/13 and closed yesterday 3/5/13. Now just waiting on my Welcome Home package. Woohoo cant wait!!!

Just received an email from our broker and Disney has waived ROFR!

200 BWV (Mar) $56, 4 banked '12 pts., all '13 and '14 pts., buyer pays mf and closing (sub 2/13, passed 3/5)

This is our first contract - so excited!

Hopefully, closing goes as smoothly as everything else has so far. We are staying at BLT on a cash ressie in mid-May so i would love to be in the system by then so we can take advantage of some member benefits!

Good luck to everyone else who is waiting and checking email today!

There are two markets in the dvc world (direct and resale). I think that several buyers in the direct world that are unaware that the resale market exists (and some might change their purchase if they knew all the facts).

Likewise within the resale world there are two markets (those that accept what the broker says the going rate is and those that are aware of threads like this where the aggressive side of the market exists). Once again those that are in the former group knew about the latter might change their buying pattern.

I think many contracts sell at or near the broker price. This is confirmed, IMO, by the fact that some brokers won't entertain some of the low offers made by people on this board.

I for one offered the asking price on a contract for four reasons:

It was a loaded contract - almost all of 2012 points banked and all future points available

I want to close NOW so that I can use the points this fall - the value of having the points now outweighed the cost of paying out of pocket later this year.

It was a reasonable price and still much less than I would have paid buying direct.

I was told that there were multiple offers already made under, but close to, the asking price.


Could I have waited, made multiple low offers on other contacts and paid less? Sure.

It's not just whether contracts are stripped, loaded, small, or large. Asking prices vary so much, except on the more "rare" resales.

BWV 150 pts Sept YE. $62 seller pays 2013 dues, buyer pays closing costs. The contract has a funky configuration of points due to some banking/borrowing issues: 21-2012 pts, 102 - 2013 pts and 50 - 2014 pts available.

I'm hopeful it'll pass. It was sent to Disney on Feb 7th. Fingers crossed!

Crossing our fingers that we hear today!


I just realized I posted "YE" instead of "UY". Doooh! We're dealing with year end "stuff" at work. Man, I need a vacation!!!
