Thoughts on Lowball Offer

I am been looking for a 100ish pt contract at AKV or SSR. Really wanted an Oct. use year but would have taken Sept, June or April.
Just had an offer accepted at SSR!
I am sure now there will be tons of AKV 100pt contracts with Oct. or Sept. use years pop up. You’re welcome everyone who is also looking.omething else that you prefer.
I think I will add on direct eventually but need to do it in small increments so I can pay cash.
From the time you sign your intent to buy you still have 10 days to back out if you find s
 


I made an offer today on AKL 100 points listed $112 offered $104 no points until 2021. It was listed last night and this morning I was told the owner wanted $110 but there is now a bidding war submit highest and best. No way. We'll just keep trying for a reasonable priced contract - not looking to steal one necessarily but we won't over pay 10+ over recent ROFR prices.
I'd back out just on the principle that they want a bidding war.
 


This was just relisted for $128/pt. I wonder what would’ve happened if you had offered a full price bid when it was listed at $115?

I was really hoping someone on here would grab it at $115. I couldn’t believe it was listed for that when there was a stripped contract right above it going for $112.

I would have paid $115 but not $128. Glad I decided to move forward with my SSR.

DH and I were talking about it, decided to put in a full price offer when I got the alert that it was relisted at $128. Not playing the bidding war game.
Looking at another AK right now. Will probably make an offer this weekend if it’s there.
 
How many people usually ask the seller to pay current year dues & closing?
I know I keep saying we are going to wait until the fall to buy but we found a contract we actually like and if we get it for $100/pt we’ll buy. The contract has half the 2020 points used.
 
Depending on when those points expire you could argue they will be very hard to use or rent in the current climate and request that the Seller pays the dues. At the very least they should be paying 50% of the dues. It can’t hurt to ask. Whenever I’ve asked in the past (pre-Covid) the response I’ve had has been “no” however. Are the points still bankable?
 
It was not listed at the right price. I tried to get it! This is fifth offer...

I had a feeling you would be trying to get it. I know a few people have been looking for AKV in Oct. That was such a good listing.
I just bought a SSR contract instead so now there will be tons of Oct. AKV since I’ve given up.

That is usually a touchy subject but some people manage to negotiate it. I think we have to wait until there are lots of similar contracts floating around, not just one and then there will be reasonable negotiations. I believe the low number of certain resort contracts has artificially raised prices above where they should be. I don't want to buy into that.
 
I know that one has double points but I still feel like the listing price is abnormally high, isn’t it? I kind of feel like most contracts on that site for AKV are listed way too high.
I think it probably received a lot of full price offers, which is why I think the relisted at a higher price. Looking at the ROFR thread the $115 is high, but when the demand is high you need to ask for more. I would pay $115, but not a penny more, but someone else will pay more.

It is relisted if you want to try again!
It is actually UA at some time this morning! I spoke with the broker and was offered a better deal, but not enough to make me bite. We have two contracts and enough points so I can wait it out with you and our other disboard friends!

Edit: it was a clerical error that it was listed at $115

I guess it’s just a supply and demand issue. At $128/point you could almost get Polynesian
