Direct Buy has been around for quite awhile, I think. I guess some scams just keep on working. (We looked into it some years back, and decided it didn’t look good.)

They have to be raking it in from the real suckers just to afford their advertising budget...

“Direct Buy” advertises on many talk shows. You should get the word out to the host. As far as I’ve heard, they advertise most on Bill Bennett’s show.

We looked into Direct Buy when we were going to remodel our kitchen. It didn’t take long to figure out it was a rip off. You don’t save money .... you end up paying more!

Savage, too. If you don’t buy through Direct Buy, you’re a “schmuck”.

Google Search of "Direct Buy" sucks

If anyone has an internet connection it is a good way to check on companies.

I fell for this in 1985, when it was under a different name.

Membership was “only” about $1100 then.

I kept carefull records of all that I purchased and also of competing prices through other vendors.
I was actually able to get my “membership” money back, by presenting the records to them.

Much easier to shop smartly and buy what you really want, rather than being constrained by their limited selection.

Infomercial products are overpriced and seldom deliver value for the money. Television ad time is expensive. Who pays for it? The consumer!

If it sounds to good to be true; people never learn.

With their growing reputation one must ask if the Clintons are involved?

Thank you for this post...

The more real experiences are circulated, the less their scam can work.

Imagine that...

Timeshare for shoppers!

Gheeez!

The idea of passing cost savings on through mass buying power and lower prices is a good one. The one company that does it very successfully is Wal-mart. Since they buy everything in bulk, they can pass along the cost savings in the form of lower prices for consumers.

Spitzer's best known for two things...one being that he would sue his mother if it would get his name in the papers.But he never sued Direct Buy.He must be a stockholder.

If you have to be tied down by a contract with an inflated price and limited selection... don't. Run for the hills!

Thank you I have wanted to stop in one for a long time, but you’ve cured me of that.

Being in sales what you are doing will be their death as a company and that’s good. You have told hundreds of people here and like me others will pass this message to thousands. Pretty soon it’s goodbye Charley!

Google is your friend. There’s complaints all over the net about them. Always do a search before joining anything that sounds too good to be true. All the information we need about almost anything is at the tip of our fingers.

One could only hope — They’re as bad [or worse] as the old rent-to-own scam.
