Large DVC Annual Dues Increase for 2019

[TravelTime]

This one just completed bidding on eBay. It ended at $16,500 - $81.50 per point for 200 points at Fort Wilderness. I assume they mean Boulder Ridge. This is not much less than what you could pay a reputable timeshare broker if you shop around so I have no idea why anyone would buy this on eBay. It is being sold by a bankruptcy salesperson and owned by an estate, so I assume if it passes ROFR that it would be a time consuming transaction. It is also past due on MFs.

I never see the super low EBay auctions while they are open. The only cheap one I saw was fishy.

Add the past due maintenance fees and you are close to $90. Since so close to end of year you will have to pay 2019 dues. Disney wont transfer with past due and you will close sometime in late Jan to early Feb.

Another thing is you might not get 2018 points if previous owner borrowed points.

Concerning the seller, tra3213, I do not find anything on TUG about him, a red flag. Google does not reveal much more, except this

Not sure if that was a self promotion in that link or not. Either way I wouldn’t put any trust in someone whose strategy involves taking on worthless timeshares solely for the rebates the seller is offering.

I suspect it was self promotion because if you look at this page their name is on top of other known ebay sellers.

You may want to check and see if the eBay auctions are being run by timeshare agents. As I understand, agents get paid their commission even if DVC exercises ROFR. There has been some speculation that these eBay auctions may be run by agents taking advantage of clueless DVC owners. Or perhaps there is some other thing going on. If these eBay auctions are legit, it is likely DVC will exercise ROFR. Most of the eBay listings have tended to be for the resorts that Disney is most likely to exercise ROFR i.e. Saratoga, Old Key West and Animal Kingdom.

Tra3213 is selling all different timeshare brands including the low ball Disney timeshares. He must be an agent. His profile is from June 2018. Also, he has a lot of reviews and they mostly say the same thing: “great service” by the same buyer. I am curious who this seller is.

Great Service! Buyer:

You should contact the seller and ask him to talk to you. I would not send any money to a stranger.
