When you factor in a specific number of points you might want, coupled with a specific UY, and a specific resort (maybe not SSR, where there are usually considerable contracts available), it never seems to me like there are a thousand resale options, all amazing deals. Considering the time it takes for these things to close, for me sometimes it’s worth it to just pay a little extra and get exactly what I want, without continually stalking all the sites and waiting for months.
This board is fantastic in terms of providing a range of the actual sales prices out there, but I also wonder if it establishes unrealistic expectations for the kind of deals available. I tried a few lowball offers on some recent contracts I bought, not insulting, just lower, and the sellers didn’t even respond. I wound up coming up, but I think the deals were still fair. Maybe I’m just not patient enough, or willing to keep offering less money on contract after contract until someone accepts. Seems like that process could take forever.
