I was just notified today that we passed ROFR on a 6200 pts One Plus at Kalia tower in Hawaii for $8500. It's been 5 weeks. We have not closed however, so I'll post it on the other site when it is finalized.
I just passed ROFR for 2 annual Sunrise Lodge Studio Plus units. One was for $4000 and the other was $2000. They are worth 3500 points each. The first has already closed and I was able to take the seller's saved 2017 points as well.

Redweek. It’s fixed week 22 but can be converted to points. I think you mentioned buying Flamingo from there. Redweek is the way to go! Way better deals to be had than what the full service brokers sell.
Congrats on a tremendous deal. Wondering if the fact it is fixed week 22 (which is during June gloom - the foggiest month for San Diego) deterred people from paying more?

Yeah, we did. Our first TS purchase. It was fabulous price ($4500 for a 2 br platinum) and we haven’t seen one close since. With the exception of communication in the beginning, Redweek has been good. We are moving at a snails pace, but that’s seems to be the norm. The sellers waited 10 days after we signed our contract to sign and it’s now been sent to First American to transfer and close. Just hoping it will be closed by October as we want to make our plans for next summer!

Make sure you ask First American to send you the original deed by FedEx. For some unknown reason they sent it snail mail and I haven’t recieved it in 2 weeks
Other than that issue they were pretty quick in closing. You should be done in few weeks.

Thanks for the heads up. We are still waiting for First American to process our deposit. The rep we were assigned was out of the office for a few days.
Hi all - new to TUG and resale. I just found out that Hilton waived ROFR for 2BR HGVC SeaWorld (Platinum - 7000 points) that I got on EBay for $4K, free closing. I will put this in the database.
They may have let me get this because I’m currently elite plus and have given them a ton of my money. I will test this theory as I am now waiting for ROFR on Kings Land 2BR (Platinum - 14,400 points) for $10.2K.

Wow surprised, Great price, congratulations. If anyone else is in the process of getting another 7000 point sea world platinum please let us know if you passed.

It may also be that the price submitted to HGVC for ROFR may not have been $4,000. If the eBay seller was one of the companies that charge desperate sellers a big upfront fee, the price submitted for ROFR may have actually been your $4K contract price plus the upfront fee, which could have easily been $2500 to $3000. I have read that some of those companies structure their submittals that way and is the reason some appear to pass at lower prices than you would think likely.

No one knows when and what HGVC ROFR's, but dont mistake one sale for passing ROFR for goodness of their heart towards you. HGVC will do whatever makes them the most money regardless of how the members feel.

That would beat my price of $13k for the 14.4k, hope you get it. Mine passed late in the year, I think its easier to pass after October when their rofr budget runs low.
I just received notice that ROFR was exercised on my first attempted purchase. Is there a thread or database to share the details for others reference? I'm new here and didn't see any place for it in the HGVC section.
If anyone's curious, it was a 2BR Platinum at Sea World for $7k (7000 points). I was purchasing it through Seth Nock's site. Per them, the MFs were around $990 last year, which I know is lower than what was listed in the MFs sticky thread.

Just got word from the title company that Hilton waived ROFR for my EBay purchase of Kings Land 2BR Platinum (14,400 points) that I paid $10,200.
So far, Ive been lucky, going 2 for 2. The ultimate test is my EBay West 57th 10500 points for $7680 - ROFR just went out from title company today. I would be floored if that slips through.
Congratulations. That is a great price. Can you please add to rofr.net database? Wow, you never know what HGVC is going to take back because I see that @1Kflyerguy failed ROFR for the same unit at KL on 2/20/2017 at $13,101.
