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.)
“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”.
That;s why this is the best place to post it...

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.

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.
