I spoke with my salesman at dvc, he said that I should prob buy at ss since cheaper that is where most start. My question is this I thi we will prob stay at blt most of time. How likely can I use pts at blt Vrs ss? And if thisis true why would anyone buy at a certain location?

if you want to stay at BLT most of the time, buy BLT and book at 10-11 months out to secure your reservation.
if you can only book at 6-7 months out (or closer), you might as well own at SSR. but BLT lake view will likely be your best hope (60% or so of BLT is lake view villas) and you might wind up "stuck" at SSR. just understand that there are a LOT more SSR owners than BLT owners.
I will explore both resale and direct. Direct due to time share option we r divers and I can see us going to Carr or number of other places.
But think most use will b disney. Wife loves it and I enjoy it. Views don't mean much even thoug our view of my at con was well priceless from the 12 floor. I don't c needed more than 125 to 150 pts due to 1 week plus a years is enough for us now. Can by more later.
What is the typical break even pt for the points? Wit dues etc. is there a formula?

Break even depends on your assumptions. Compared to off site or value, you never will. You'll roughly break even compared to a moderate but will come out ahead compared to a deluxe. This assumes comparing a studio to a hotel room or 2 hotel rooms to a 2 BR. You'll likely never break even dollar wise for a 1 BR. Don't buy DVC to use for those other places, it's a poor and expensive choice to do so.I will explore both resale and direct.

I c that rci isn't a great value but nice to know option is there.
Sorry for adv of Carr I was talking about real carribean not resort.
Prob mod lik pofq etc. but as I look forward and dd's get older could prob need more pts for trip every yr but the may just bank etc. I'm 36 and they r 4 and 2. So I know if wife has her way we will go yearly.
As noted, RCI (and Buena vista trading company currently) are options resale or not. IMO, it's always good to have options but bad to pay extra for those options where DVC is concerned. It's also better to underbuy both in the resort choice and the number of points. Put practically, it's better to buy less points than more, buy SSR than BLT unless you know BLT is your main choice and have the experience to back that thought up (with stays there or CR) and do not buy extra points for non DVC options EVER.I c that rci isn't a great value but nice to know option is there. We would pay cash for it so no fin. Sorry for adv of Carr I was talking about real carribean not resort. My wife is total anti vale due to possible noise. I would like aoa for Ariel room for dd's. but don't think wife would go we like make and con but delux price trip was a lot of cash. Prob mod lik pofq etc. but as I look forward and dd's get older could prob need more pts for trip every yr but the may just bank etc. I'm 36 and they r 4 and 2. So I know if wife has her way we will go yearly. Time to get excel out lol.
