Some points are better than others. Wear blocks made from glass reinforced phenolic bloc material last longer than a lot of the modern plastic ones do. I've seem the contacts separate from the breaker arm on some really cheap stuff. The quality of a condenser has a lot to do with how long the points will last. The breaker point contacts will burn up pretty quick with a bad condenser. Luck into getting a really good condenser and the points will last for years depending on how much a person drives the vehicle.
