Does anyone actually know the details behind the process? Assuming there is some committee or process for review. Do they meet weekly/monthly? Doubt that is their only job to approve resale accounts.
But I sure wish there was some consistency around the time frames
Someone posted earlier that they thought as much as price was a consideration, a larger part of the equation is matching up pieces of units into resellable packages.
For example, disney always owns at least 2 percent of the total units, if they want to sell more of each property though, they need enough points in a particular room to sell off, they can't just package multiple units in a property together on a contract. Plus those rooms must have enough current year points they can give those as part of the sale also. So say you want to buy 300 direct vgf points, they need 300 points in a single unit that includes current year points. And it's gotta be at a rate good enough they're gonna be able to at least cover all the various costs associated with it.
Its much easier for them to just take the foreclosed properties which really cost them nothing. My feeling is that then they look to rofr complementary pieces to those units based on various factors like price, buyers spending history, etc... To fill a direct purchase waitlist for each property. They may occasionally take outliers that are really low, but my guess is its a lot of gray area where various factors all give some range of maybe and they just wait to see if they can flip it quickly.
Which makes me think they look at:
A) interest list in a resort, if they have an interested buyer that's #1
B) does the unit number match up with any currently in stock, coupled with how long do they have to hold it before resale/so that "current year" points can be sold
C) purchase price
D) number of points, larger blocks of points are easier to resell into smaller blocks without the need for pairing
E) profit potential- dvc is the loss leader to get you into the parks. Disney knows everything you purchase and how much you spend. My guess is this is a low end factor as well as they can calculate how much food, souvenirs, and extras they can sell you over the years. That's just my speculation, but they have so much data on everyone, why wouldn't they use it?
Day 27...
