Direct buy is a company built on misleading customers into a pressure sales situation. They claim that they give you "manufacturer" prices from top companies. I work directly with some of their vendors such as Shaw, Mohawk, Whirlpool, Electrolux, and several others. They aren't giving you "manufacturer" pricing, that term actually has no meaning. They aren't even giving you vendor pricing, I know because I get vendor pricing on several of their products. I went to the "open house" to see what they were going to offer. They give you a great sales pitch were your salesmen will call himself an "owner" of the company (they are all "owners"). He will show you a bunch of great products and talk about how great the direct buy experience is. They even have these jokes they tell to get you to think about the money you will save. It is a very well formulated sales pitch. Then they will tell you it's $5000 to join for three years. If you want to spread the payments out, the interest rate is 17%, and if you dont buy today, you'll never have the chance again, because of an agreement they have with manufacturers. This is also a lie, there is no legally binding agreement that can force you to "sign now or loose eligability." If you cant realize that this is a pressure sale then you best not step foot in the building. They do this because they realize any half-way intelligent person is going to realize the scam once they walk out the door and never come back. They have to get you while you are thinking about all the new products you want to buy. This company and its "owners" need to take a few ethics courses. Stay away!!!
