how much does "direct buy" club cost, and is it worth it?
there is a club called "direct buy" that wants us to come to an 'open house' and learn more. they won't tell us pricing until we come. what's the real story? we don't want to waste our time. we are in a major project, and will be buying all new Appliances, etc., so potentially it could be good for us – but is it better than home depot, costco, north american wholesale club, etc.?
Spending $35.00 a year in order to shop at Sam's Club is one thing, but spending $500.00 or more to join one of these direct buy clubs is another. Most of these types of outfits go out of business in a couple of years and guess who is left holding the bag. They have been around for a long time. My sister and her husband got talked into a membership that cost them $500.00 to join in 1976. They never made the first purchase at the place. It went out of business in 1978.
The bottom line is that these businesses are in the business of selling memberships. What they do have to offer is usually off brand shoddy merchandise at best. Run from this outfit as fast as you can.
Good luck with your decision.
Weather you buy a little, or a lut, you're still gona get it in the butt!

I research them as a supplier for my com.all I can say is that with membership fees,shipping cost,price of a product that may only be a copy of the name brand,I think they are the only ones saving money!Come On they advertise by infomercial!I have found a very few bargains on EBAY however,but only a few.
