There are MANY different ways to see if "DVC cost of room math"!!! LOL The way I look at it is- Cost of "Rack rates"and then take MAYBE 25% off of that rate PLUS tax. You always have to include taxes, as you don't pay taxes with DVC as you know. Add dues..
Ex: BWV 2BR- $1344/night x 7 nights. PLUS tax- 12%=10,526. With 25% off-$7902.. Now, points:280 points. Dues are $7.17/point x 280=$2007. Remember that points will never go up. Dues will go up. So, I bought BWV when it was $65/point. So, I have broken even and then some. I agree- it is all "Gravy" now.. The above example does not include prices going up 3-4-5%/year for the "rack rates". So, yeah, IF you keep DVC for 6-7 years, it is all "Gravy" from then on.. Does anyone on this board think Disney resort prices will go DOWN anytime soon?? Not me... I see a 2BR at BWV in 5 short years being $1579/night!!!!!! And that assumes 3.5% increase/year.. So, is DVC worth it? I would say Yes for sure!
