Direct Buy sells home appliances and furnishings. I've seen the infomercials and it looked interesting. But like most infomercials I was looking for a catch. So I searched online to see if someone or a group of people had done business with Direct Buy before. I came across a few sites with other's personal experiences and reviews.
At this link (http://www.infomercialratings.com/product/direct_buy) has other consumers who claimed they went to the showroom and where put to sales people who tried to sell them $5,000+ memberships to Direct Buy and was given the option that they had to make a decision immediately and would not have a chance to think about it and come back. There was also mentions of people pretending to be customers who lurk around the showroom. Some have also reported a positive experience, but indicated you should be shopping for a huge remodel job to take advantage of their membership prices.
Seem a bit weird to me, if something was that great I think the public would just flock to it. I know a lot of people with Costco memberships, I see no infomercials or commercials for that matter for Costco. I've never seen any sale people try to hard sell me a Costco membership, yet they have people flock to it. Makes you think, doesn't it.
Read more reviews here (http://www.infomercialscams.com/scams/direct_buy_scams) these are more unhappy customers
