Personally I bought RIV fixed weeks (2 studios) and it works for me. I have an extra BWV (sold 2 others) that are resale. I plan on likely selling the last BWV contract in a couple years when prices rebound and I use all the banked points.
Any thoughts about selling down the road and I would avoid direct purchasing though regardless of the resort and start with resale.
@167/168 total points (can't remember which in the OP)
RIV = $187/point
POLY = $242/point
I have brought this up plenty times you need to do the math on the actual incentives.
That is a $55/point premium on getting Poly, with a shorter contract, higher point charts, easiest studio at MK to book at 7 months, and only studio option. You do save 19% on dues in 2020 though compared to the 8-10% premium on rooms though at POLY.
Right now that puts RIV at roughly $80-$85/point before it would breakeven on a sale. ($135-$140 is what I see listed for POLY right)
Yes you can decide to go resale but if you plan on keeping that contract for 10-15 years, and getting APs at least every other year, you will likely break even on the premium you paid. Sure APs are not on sale right now but I don't think there is any hard evidence to say they won't be back in 2021 or at latest 2022 (and that is on Disney not DVC).

Are you going to have WDW pried out of your cold dead hands? AND you have someone to pass it down to who will do the same? If not, I'm a never-Riv
