I hate to say it, but here’s a good rule of thumb: If a company advertises on conservative talk radio, DON’T DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. Maybe the same rule applies to liberal talk radio—I wouldn’t know. But if your favorite conservative talk show host is plugging a product, it’s best to stay very far away. There is no scam that those guys won’t promote.

When I saw the first commercial featuring a couple who spent $60,000 on kitchen cabinets I stopped watching. I assumed anyone with a brain would too. (Sorry)

I recently built a new home, and decided to take a look at DirectBuy.

I got a tour of the place, where it was explained that everything was selected and purchased out of a ‘catalog’, then shipped from the manufacturer to the store (I had to pay shipping costs) then from the store to me (I had to pay more shipping costs and milage), and if what I bought wasn't what I wanted, I could send it back (paying shipping costs again).

When I asked what the fee was for becoming a member, the salesman told me he could only tell me once I sat down and started filling out the paperwork. He said that once I was told what the fee was, I either had to sign or I couldn't think about it and come back later.

Also, it was only for couples. I couldn't bring my sister-in-law with unless my brother was with her.

I said, “No thanks!” and left. When I got home, I researched on-line and found that the “membership fee” was anywhere from $3,000 to over $6,000 - depending on where you went.

I think it depended on how much they thought they could sucker you out of.

It may suit others, but for me, DirectBuy is a major waste of money, and a sneaky business enterprise.

One of the women in their adds says “we saved between thirty and forty thousand dollars on our new house at best buy.”

That is either 25 or 33 % savings. If she lost track of 10 grand in her purchases, you know the intelligence of actual buyers. They don't know what they are buying nor can keep track of 5 digit sums.

Thanks for posting this. Solves my curiosity and desire to look into it.
