[2007] ROFR Information

[dioxide45]

I have created and put online a website where you can post your ROFR information. The address is http://dioxide45.tripod.com/rofr.html .

Due to this just being in its infancy, I have limited it just to Marriott properties for the time being. Doing this will help test out the database.

ROFR experiences are entered directly on the website via a form and are updated instantly to the database. I will be able to maintain and administer the list. I used this same type of website several years ago for a newsgroup that I was subscribed to.

Please feel free to add your ROFR information (old and new) and we can see how this works. If popular enough, I can modify it to include other TS companies.

Test away and please post here any issues that you discover or comments/suggestions that you might have.

Do note that Tripod and not I provide the advertisements on the site.

Thanks.

A few things I noticed myself and other suggestions from the previous thread.

Separating MME and MMC. These are already separated as "VA, Williamsburg, Manor Club at Ford's Colony" and "VA, Williamsburg, Manor Club at Ford's Colony II". Though I think adding the three-letter code to each resort may be helpful.

The search function doesn't seem to work well. If you search for Manor Club, it brings up every resort name with "Club" in the name. This will take some work. Adding the three-letter code may fix this as I can set the search based on the code only.

I think I need to separate the EOY option out of the Unit Type. I also am missing a field for "View". I know some resorts sell based on view, and this is not even an option.

It is amazing all of the things that you notice once you think something is completed.

Hey Dioxide45,
Strangely when I make a request search for Aruba Ocean Club it shows way to many resorts...
That will need to be fix.

Great Idea!!!

Thanks for putting this together, it will be very very useful. One thing to consider might be to include the view as in some resorts, MOC for example, thered can be quite a difference between GV and OF prices. Thanks again for doing this!

I've identified this as an issue and am working on a fix for it. When you select a resort with "Club" in its name, it brings up all resorts with "Club" in their name.

I noted this as an issue and will be adding a field to the database for "View" I will also be separating out the EOY from the unit type

In 2006, it has gone crazy starting 2007.

If I remember correctly, that week was part of a bankruptcy case. I suspect that Marriott decided it was not worth the hassle...and that's why it went through. However, it's also true that Marriott rarely exercised ROFR until about a year and a half ago.

A solution would be to add the Interval code to the name and then have your program make the search via these 3 letters...

Great job on the site. I noticed you had * next to the resorts that do not have ROFR but you didn't explain that. If your also trying to track purchases made you might want to have a field under ROFR for N/A in addition to pass or fail so you could collect the data on those results. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I know its very time consuming.

That site is long overdue! Other than the TUG sales database (which is woefully out of date), are there any other databases anyone knows of?

The site has been updated to include "View" as a new select option when entering ROFR information in to the database.

Chris,

Thanks for pointing this out. I have added some verbiage explaining the "*" notation on certain resorts to the resort section of the form when adding new details.

I think I need to separate the EOY option out of the Unit Type.

I have separated out the Usage (Annual vs. EOY) from the unit type. Now Unit type and Usage are two separate fields in the database.

I am still working on the search feature.

I am not aware of any others. That is why I began working on this one.

Timesharing Today has a resale database.

The site has been updated to include "View" as a new select option when entering ROFR information in to the database.

One more "view" choice is needed...Oceanside. We own in Aruba and our view is Oceanside (kinda between Oceanview and Oceanfront). FWIW I chose Oceanview when I submitted my ROFR info on your site.

There is no subscription necessary to access the ROFR information on the site identified in the original post.

I have added an view option for Ocean Side to the input form. Thank you for the suggestion.
