[2007] ROFR Information

[Bill4728]

Just had a Plat NCV exercised @ $17,000. Anyone have somewhere to get one cheaper!! Gold or Plat...either one is fine.

If Marriott took it at $17K why ask about something cheaper?

 

[Dave M]

There are four floating Gold weeks for sale on Redweek with asking prices in the $13-14K range. Good negotiation should result in purchase prices that are quite a bit lower for some of those weeks.

Thanks, I figure I'm willing to keep looking for a good deal and maybe it will squeeze through the ROFR if I'm lucky.

Just won Gold OS Grand Ocean at $14,101.50. Pass ROFR?

I think its a great price, but concerned it won't pass ROFR, although I had a Gold OF week pass at $13,800 a few years ago.

Regards.

Useful Information. Thanks for the effort

Thanks for the site. I am considering sale of EOY at MMO and all input is helpful. Thx again.

Marriott Maui Ocean Club ROFR

It would be great to have the ROFR submitted date on your website.
Also, does anyone know what the typical wait time is for ROFR from Marriott on Maui Ocean Club?

Mine took about 5 or 7 days.

Maui Ocean Club

I just noticed that the timeshare I was attempting to buy was posted by the real estate agent, I was using and he has listed the purchase price at $32,550. on the ROFR thread, but this included the MF for 2008 and also $850 towards closing so shouldn't it be listed at 30k? just wanted the correct numbers on the posting- thanks

 

[mamadot]

I would think you are correct on that!
Maybe you could repost the correct purchase price.

Almost Two Years Old

Well the database is almost two years old and just in the past couple of days the number of records surged past 300.

It was interesting to see that recently a 3-BR Platinum Grande Vista failed to pass at $13,500.

As Dioxide posted in another thread, the poster was a guest and did not leave any contact info., so she was unable to verify the accuracy of the post.

I think the project is a wonderful resource and really appreciate all the hard work that goes into it. However, I think you have to be careful not to read too much into a single post, because there is no way of controlling what gets posted. Looking over several posts indicates a trend and/or posts by known Tuggers have more credibility.

Again- I am certainly not disparaging the site- just cautioning people to be wary and not to base their own offers on a single post.

Also people shouldn't really be using this as a tool to base their offers on. It is always suggested to make the best offer possible and hope for the best. Now with Marriott exercising very few ROFR, this is more important than ever.

You are, of course, right- but this is a great tool to discern what the current market is, and people base their offers accordingly. Even now, there are several posts akin to "what price will pass ROFR;" even though one should always negotiate the best price without fear of ROFR, the reality is before Marriott basically stopped exercising it many people based their offers on it.

Other than Ebay sales data, this is the only resource that I know of for evaluating selling (versus asking) price for a given resort (and I know another Tugger has been compiling this info. into the individual resorts in the Review section too) and, as such, I think it is an invaluable tool for assessing the resale market.

Resurrecting this old thread since it applies. I have been made aware of an issue with the ROFR database. I don't know if it is a Tripod issue or something else, but neither it nor the buyback databases are working. I am working to see if I can find a different hosting site.

I know. I tried to use it today. All I got was an error message

Bad news. I contacted Tripod technical support about the issue and was informed that they no longer support CGI scripts, which the ROFR and buyback databases rely on. No warning.

Finding another free hosting service that supports CGI is not easy. Many advertise that they do, though it tends to be included in only the paid plans. I did find a host, but haven't been able to get the CGI scripts to work yet.

I really should convert these to SQL, but I simply don't have the know how to do so.

Has there ever been any thoughts to having it directly within TUG somehow?

Rofr mmo

should expect Marriott to exercise its ROFR on my $500 offer for MMO EOY 1BR?

 

[dioxide45]

Well, it looks like the database is working again. Don't know why and I can't explain it.

I just tried to go add my ROFR experience to the database but got an error when I clicked the link.

Yesterday, Marriott ROFR'd one of our Gold Grande Vista 3BR/LO for $4,500. Since we recently added resale points to reach Premier level, we decided to rebalance by selling off one of our weeks. While we would have gotten more ($500-$1000) by going through Marriott Resales, we're happy with the return on a week that passed ROFR 2 years ago for only $1,800 when we bought it on eBay.

Wow, that's interesting.

This post reminds me of The One That Got Away.

In 2012, I was in Tampa watching a hockey game with Puck, and I was high bidder on a Platinum Grande Vista 3BR/LO at $1,800 (max bid of $2,500.) I got sniped at closing and it sold for $2,501.

I often wondered what the sniper had as their high bid because that is a great trading week and I see few EOYs.

Glad the ROFR worked out for you and good luck with the new points!

Best,

Greg
