I put in a $75 offer on a fully loaded 60 point OKW contract and I thought I was crazyBut boredom won and i figured why not.
Just do it, you never know
OH MAN. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you. You never know!
That is expensive! I have an offer at 92 on one with 2021 points and they countered at 96! We declined but 115 is way over pricedWe just put in an offer of $95 on a stripped December AKL contract. They had it listed over $115. My fiance doesn't think they'll accept but I said the worst they can do is say no. Over $115 pp for a contract you can't really touch until 2022 seems.. expensive for AKL. But that's just me.

Yes, I think it is the boredom!
Just sitting here with the money burning a hole in my pocket.Well, I made an offer in the lower 80's for a $100pp SSR and the counter was mid-90's. That's where they are all sticking right now. I've attempted 3 in the last two weeks. This one was truly a lowball; the other two were fair and had multiple offers so we didn't get those either. But I think the market has shifted lower since then...hence, the lowball today.
Alright, I took my turn. Someone else? Batter up???
Good luck on your OKW contract; that's my fav resort!! I would love to see you break that barrier!

Good try, but better deals are on the horizon. There must be a 100-200 SSR on the resale market and I can't believe ALL those contracts are getting offers - not happening. I've noticed more owners splitting or covering closing costs or MF's for 2020. Maybe offer a bit more and ask for a closing deal on your next try?

WELL, we heard back. They countered at $110 
for a stripped December Use Year.. guess they want to hold onto it just a bit longer.. Oh well. On to the next one.

I tried that on one of the earlier ones and it was still smacked down. But thanks for reminding me of it because I didn't even think about that today. I will put it back in my tool belt.

WOW! I’m dying to see how this goes. I was considering $80pp but thought that would get rejected. This gives me hope that maybe I can buy in for an one bedroom instead of a studio stay. Good luck and let us know!

We’ve also been lowballing on SSR, offers ranging from $75-80 per point. Some have countered low 90s, some point blank refused to go below $100 which I think is crazy. How the sellers can think they can get the same price as 2 months ago with all that is going on right now with closures, decreased borrowing rights, availability issues etc. I think they are delusional about maintaining Jan / Feb highs.
Personally we have time to wait, don’t need to compromise too much right now. But sounds like a lot of us are offering at similar prices so hopefully sellers will start to take notice!

I got SSR at just below $89/Pt on Feb.
Published data from this site showed DVC exercising ROFR at $85 in Feb. I'd check the data for March, and use that as a guide......

Where can you find that data? We have also like Laurajane been lowballing on SSR - $75 p/p on stripped contracts with only 2021 points available.

How many points were on the AKL contract?

I think the difficulty is that so much has changed since early March when these were likely ROFR'd. Take for example Feb AK being up at $102 when we know contracts are getting through ROFR in the low 90s now, same with OKW feb was at $100 and we know of a contract getting through at $75 (a 60 point contract no less!) so we know they are going through substantially lower than back in Feb. Hence I think right now $75-$80 stands a good chance of getting through. That being said we personally aren't in a rush to buy so happy to take our chances with ROFR, I can understand why others would be more willing to pay higher to have an easier path through ROFR
