Thanks, and yes, this is all in the original towers. I've been tracking prices for nearly 3 years now (solely on Redweek), and prices are actually pretty low to me. Only once did I see a 2BR OV unit go for less than what I just paid, and there's even a 1BR OV listed for $3500, which means it can likely be had for $3k (whether that'd pass ROFR is another story, though my 1BR OV did pass at $4k).

Prices for the new towers are still insane, though. My wife gave me the death glare when I broached the topic of considering one in the Napili Tower, so that was the end of that, lol.

"Death glare"! :hysterical: I can only imagine!

We really went back and forth on what we wanted to do as we own 2 wks EOYO in a 2 bdrm Oceanfront Napili so we love, love, LOVE our view. DH and I had to ask if we wanted view in the older towers or the full kitchens, w/d, etc., with no view in the new towers because we just weren't going to pay the current going rates for OF in Napili right now. I really do love the views from many of the rooms in the older towers though. It will be interesting to see what we think of our decision when we have our first stay in the new acquisition in a few months…. ;)
 
Just had a grand vista eoy gold rofr at $400. Also the other week a manor club annual gold for $200 got rofr. I thought marriott would let these go but it seems like they are buying all for conversion to trust points. This makes sense in their asset lite strategy.
 
KoOlina 3bedroom, annual platinum

Just submitted ROFR for 3-bedroom, platinum, annual at $25K. We'll see

ROFR is very random

I just wanted to mention that I am still seeing very random exercising of ROFR.

2 br GV Plat $2835 Taken
2 br WR Plat $2135 Taken

2 br WR Plat $1315 Passed
2 br WR Plat Odd $1 Passed
2 br HL Plat Odd $759 Passed

These were all recent eBay purchases in the last 3 months. It sounds silly, but the high ones seem to be taken and the cheaper priced ones are passing for the same resort.

Thanks for posting this, I have one I am trying to purchase for $1,800, annual/gold w/ Thanksgiving reserved for '16. Seller said he thinks it's a coin flip if Marriott with take it.

Also, your price seems amazingly low, congrats. Seems way below market.

I think Marriott takes more in to consideration than just price. Perhaps first usage and even who is responsible for the next MF. Perhaps if an EOY odd week comes up that doesn't have first usage until 2017, they may not be interested since they can't start to sell those points yet.

From what I was told, they "do the math". So, whether buyer or seller picks up the closing, transfer and MFs gets evaluated to figure out what the actual price is being paid for the title.

If that was the case they should have taken all the other units I bought for less.
 
So weird! ours is an EOY even. Just passed. I pretty much had no hope. I'm blown away!

Thanks for posting. I've been ROFR'd a few times in Palm Desert at higher amounts. I have noticed a bunch of ebay auctions selling for lower prices recently and was wondering if they would pass or not.
 
Looking for more ROFR info

I am new to TUG and am looking for more ROFR information, like contracts that have passed or taken by location. Is there another thread?

What are you looking at? Might get more pointed and recent responses.

cheers.
 
I am looking for information on what has recently passed ROFR. Trying to get an idea od what prices I should expect to pay, and pass, ROFR.
