We recently decided to attend an open house for Direct Buy after seeing the commericals on TV. We are planning to do some renovations to our home in the next 6 months or so. We were told that the membership information would be disclosed to us at the open house. We were a bit skeptical but decided to check things out anyway. As soon as we entered the building, we were greeted, asked to sign in, given name tags and ushered to a desk. The salesman who greeted us seemed rather curt and rude right from the word go. He then told us that we would have to sit through a 90 minute informational session. We really weren't sure if we wanted to spend 90 minutes there and he immediately told us that he would reschedule us for another time. We hadn't even made a decision one way or the other at that point and we barely had time to answer when he said again that he would reschedule us and started writing up another time for us to come in. Needless to say, the guy was pushy. Since I am a bottom line kind of person, I told him directly that if the membership was more than 1000 dollars, we weren't really interested. He immediately stood up and showed us the door. At that point, we were happy to be out of there. Basically we drove over an hour to have some pushy salesman treat us rudely and push us out the door the second we mentioned money. My advice is to stay away from Direct Buy and stick with Lowe's; at least there they don't push you out the door if you decide not to buy that gas grill you were looking at.
