Pass ROFR recently

It was sold on Vacation Timeshare and Rentals. I had it listed on a few sites for a year at $22000 and also talked with a few timeshare resalers. People were coming back with offers for $14000 and less that I refused. We took the 18500 because I sold it myself so I did not have to pay a commission. We bought it a couple of years ago, took some great trips so we pretty much broke even. After a year that was the best offer we got so we took it and it is going to a very nice young couple so I am very happy with that decision. I'm not sure where all these people are that want to pay high prices for timeshares but I did not hear from any of them.

Hey Chris..........As you know (as a fellow owner) , DSV I doesn't have a ROFR so we can throw that one out of the list.

Your right...Didn't catch that one. I now see it should have been DSV II. Thanks for the catch.

Your right...Didn't catch that one. I think the person had it on the website and said it passed ROFR, although as you had said, there is no ROFR at DSV I. Thanks for the catch.

The only DSVI on the ROFR list indicates N/A for the ROFR Status. This would be accurate for a location without ROFR.

I added my Fairways Villas to the list even though there is no ROFR...it is good information to see actual selling prices of all the resorts.

I think that is an excelent idea!

I just got an ROFR waiver from Marriott on a Newport Coast fixed week 52 at $18,900. They literally waited until the end of the day on day number 15 to reply. I added it to the database. After looking at this post, I hope I didn't pay too much.

The $4,200 Cypress Harbour sport week is me. I'm still waiting on the final deed to be recorded but it should be any day now.

I also just picked up a Special week at Cypress Harbour for $6,000! I'm not holding my breath for that passing ROFR though. Very excited about that for that price!

I was just viewing dioxide's ROFR website. I was amazed at some of the bargains out there that recently has passed ROFR. These are full year not EOY. Here are a few:

Canyon Villas - Gold - $4100
Branson - Platinum - $2800
Desert Springs Villas I - Red - $8500
Grand Ocean - Bronze - $1700
Shadow Ridge - Silver - $1681
Cypress Harbor - Sport - $4200
Grand Chateau - Platinum $11100
Newport Coast Villas - Platinum - $15850

These prices make entry into Marriott's timeshares really reasonable. Congratulations to those purchasers.

John 2008-08-25 Marriott MHB-MO, Branson, Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club at Branson Platinum Annual 2BR N/A $2,800 Passed

This one blows my mind!!:annoyed: I wonder why it sold so cheaply. It sold less than a silver or bronze season Park City.

Where did you get the Fairways? Is it platinum? I can't find the entry on the database. How much did you pay?

I am interested in a platinum contract there myself. I am going to sell one or two of my MMC Platinum to get one or two MFVs instead. We didn't like MMC and we love MVFs. With this economy it pays to own where you want to go. Anyway, the Marriott Fairways at Seaview is only 1 hour from home without summer traffic.

I second the good wishes! After seeing OceanWatch platinum plus pass ROFL at $18.5 I decided to start paying closer attention. (I don't know what kind of premium the "plus" carries but it has to be something. I wouldn't want it but obviously others do)

We'll also consider OW platinum but are on hold for a little while.

Thanks for the good wishes. I got word that Marriott waived ROFR last week on the Platinum, OceanFront unit at Oceanwatch: 20k. Probably not a record, but it seems like a good deal.
 
Jdetar, i purchased my special season at Cypress Harbour for 6K a couple of years ago. I am confident you will pass ROFR.
 
NJNMom: I'm novice at Ebay: How is one notified that it passed ROFR? How long does that process take? How do you know there is a minimum bid required once you place a bid?

From Marriott's perspective, it seems to be a "deal" between the seller and Marriott. The seller provides Marriott with information about the seller, the buyer, and the purchase agreement, and Marriott has the option to purchase from the seller for what the seller was going to get.

In my case (as the buyer), the title company offered to file the ROFR paperwork for us, and the title company informed us of the ROFR status. It took about two weeks for Marriott to decide. I'm assuming that Marriott responds to whoever files the paperwork, and that should be the seller or someone acting on their behalf of the seller, such as a title company.

As far as Ebay, the posted auction usually says whether there is a minimum bid ie. "reserve" price. The TS I purchased was listed as "no reserve".

It took almost all 30 days Marriott has for me to be notified that it passed ROFR. I was notified by the closing company, American Timeshare Closing. I just learned yesterday that the deed was back from James City county recording office and the closing company was ready to complete the Marriott Transfer Docs. So the process does take a bit of time. :wall: 2-4 weeks for Marriott to pass ROFR, a few more weeks for the deed to be recorded and then whatever time for Marriott to process the transfer documents.
 
Summit Watch Gold ($4700) passed ROFR within two days. I was reluctant to give it away for that price. It has been a great trader and gets an AC!

I sold my gold MFV weeks several years ago - that is what I added to the list.
I know several people who have recently purchased Plat weeks there - thru the 'usual' places - redweek, myresortnetwork, etc.
