I have actually been using this tool myself for a while and really like the interface of it compared to some other resale databases. The owners of this reached out to us here to see if they could post an on sales pitchy thing on this form and all the admin here agreed that it was a good idea. There is no money exchanging hands with any of this or anything financially related. We just thought this would be a helpful tool for those looking for resale contracts. www.dvcforless.com I am going to let the owners post here with some information and some feedback they might be looking for from you.

One of my favorite apps. Actually like the Android app better than the website for UX.
Very cool tool!

I could spend hours on this site, wish it had been available when I was actively looking for resales.

Love the artwork on the site. So how do they make their money? I wondered the very same thing, how do they make their money, do they get a commission from the resalers if someone using the link to the resaler results in the purchase of a contract?

Sometimes I used Google Flights, which in a way is similar - it will email you when a flight you are watching changes. I guess Expedia and the one that used to have William Shatner doing ads for it are similar. I've booked through the William Shatner one and we didn't pay any extra. But they must make money somehow. Maybe through ads on the site or selling your data or something. Or they somehow get a percentage from the airline.

I'm sure dvcforless can answer anything about that. I wouldn't blame them if they don't, not a lot of companies want to give away their business model. I would guess they get a fee or percentage if the contract sales or are paid per click through. However they are doing it they have a done a great job and their list of agencies using them is impressive. There is a ton of data to play with all in one place. It is interesting the price history varies by the size of the contract, I would love to see it posted with an overall trend for all contracts included. Of course that may just be me trying to determine if we are seeing a EOL effect for the 2042 contracts. Just glancing at a few of the charts and not really mining data I don't see much of an affect yet. I am also not sure if the status button is something they assign of if the listing agent assigns it.

Anyone have thoughts on current best value resort for resale? Last I spent the time looking at resale prices, end dates, annual fees and similar it was almost a toss up between SSR and BLT. I am getting add on fever for a resale now that we know the cabins at FW are a no-go for purchase for us.
