Why is shopping DVC resale contracts so addictive?

[CraigInPA]

I've been subscribed to several email listings, and confess to looking at them every day. My wife is convinced I can "time" the market, buying a "Cinderella" contract at the lowest price over a six month period. I don't think that's true, but I have had good success in identifying underpriced listings and then justifying to the wife why we need another block of points.

I'm glad that site is filtered out to keep it a secret lol. It's much better than dvcforless, especially for us analytic types.

Just curious what data do you use from there?

To me, straight data and less scrolling/fluff is easier on my eyes! Also, dvcforless does not recognize subsidized contracts.

Oh nice. It lists Aulani Sub on there?

That is the real bonus and knowledge we get out of being so addicted.

Must be different than the one I thought it was because it doesnt filter subsidized.

Googling DVC search engine results in many different aggregators to choose from.

I candidly think that people whose brains suffer from a lack of dopamine are drawn to things that provide a steady stream of intense dopamine hits.

1) Researching the resorts!
2) Learning the market!
3) Watching the aggregators and waiting for the perfect contract!
4) Making lots of lowball offers and trying to get a steal of a deal!

It’s all one big stream of dopamine hits!

I 2nd this! Love the dopamine hits lol

No it doesn't filter AUL sub. That's why i thought it was a new feature, but it doesn't, only filters for OKW (extended) and VB sub.

A lot of them died, but yes there has been a few.

Okay thanks, I was wondering why I absolutely could not find a site that filters it out.

For me it's the same behavior I apply to all purchases over a certain threshold. Deep research to understand the product, market, and conditions. Consider pros and cons of each available offering. That much effort put into buying a small resale contract has made me a knowledgeable person on a topic most humans don't even know exists.

Actually, i see a trend. My job, after over 20 years, has provided me with deep knowledge of subject most people don't know or frankly care about. I am not very marketable!

Hoping early retirement cures me of the illness! I still have direct Poly on the radar but I can be watchful and patient.

All ending with the massive dopamine dump of points in your account!
