Great post!!! DIS is a publicly traded company and their Directors want customers to be happy because it’s generally good for shareholders’ value. However with ROFR, their interests, your interests and the seller’s interests are at complete odds.
Make no mistake: DVC (and parent co) would want ROFR to take 6+ months to have an unlimited inventory in the event someone calls DVC sales to buy a sold out resort. So, there is a tight rope they have to walk with our avid and loyal base vs. bottom line / sales...
UGH, AND HERE COMES my wacky conspiracy theory : I am in the minority who thinks it’s too convenient to assume the long ROFR is COVID related. I mean if it were truly a $/point value proposition, I could have an algorithm within 2-3 hours (and a 250 billion company can probably do it sooner!!). It’s about having a HUGE inventory of contracts at disposal if a buyer calls DVC for a sold out resort (Would they tell them they are wait listed when they can go to a big broker to get exactly what they want, except cheaper?).
before judgement- I pledged generously towards Cast Member Pantry last month, so I care for the people, but not for the pennies per share a 60+ vs 15 day ROFR involves.
