This is our first time buying a dvc contract. After reading through this thread, I’m not very optimistic that Disney won’t take this. Haha. Guess I’ll take the advise of others and start looking for the next one, to be ready

I placed a bid on two other contracts and the sellers where absolutely firm on their price of $155. From my research their was only a few blt in December that Disney took back and they where like 135$

Those 194 must have been banked 2017 points that they didn’t use? Goodness, in 2 years they used 6 total points?

Or got laid off.

Or got laid off.

I suppose that is possible and they didn’t know they could rent out points

& didn’t want/know to rent out. Yikes

Chances are they took out a loan to buy, and couldn't make the payments on the loan. Renting points out would have only probably covered a couple of months for the year, leaving them to cover the other 10 months of payments. I'm pretty sure I've picked up 1 or 2 contracts from people who were upside down on their loans for DVC.

Yes that’s why we offered $140. Since it was front loaded. We also ran into a few sellers that were firm on the prices
One wouldn’t budge at all off their asking price. We just moved on.
Don’t remember having to haggle this much with out AKL resale..
Is this normal for BLT??

you offered in the middle of the freenzy to be grandfathered in and before the price increase ;. i noticed prices going up so they might have thought at the time that they were going to get asking so why should they go lower . we offered the day before the changes were announced imsure had it been after they would have asked for more.

If I wasn't in a hurry to sell my contract, and I knew DVC just raised the price of BLT 225, I'd list at 155 and let the contract sit for a while and see if anyone bit. It's not likely someone will, but I'd sit on it for a couple months to find out.

As one of the last minute buyers, this was my exact perception of the sellers' mentality last week. Sellers had zero incentive at all to negotiate. They weren't the ones trying to beat a deadline.

@Lorilais_mommie , I love your siggy!


As for the recent pricing, I feel lucky in a way that my offer was accepted last week without negotiating. I wasn't sure I was going to go for it unless the perfect contract came along. I wanted 140-150 AKV, with double points, Sept or Oct Use year. I saw a new one pop up asking $111. I offered $107 and they accepted. That was my one and only experience. Now, fingers crossed DVD doesn't think it is so great!

I’m a bit surprised they took it since it was inline with all the other offers at this time and was stripped until 2020. But I think since we were on Disney’s desk right as the increase in cost and 2020 point charts they are hoping to move a lot. Plus the direct price increase after we submitted made the spread $85.

Hope to try again, want that Epcot/HS home, but above 140 just isn’t worth it when factoring everything in.
