Direct Buy

[Compry]

Been getting phone calls from Direct Buy to go in for an open house. Is anyone here familiar with them?

Re: Direct Buy

I have a feeling they are like Costco or Sam's Club. I think you have a pay a membership fee in order to get wholesale prices.

Compry, I had some friends who were members while doing work to their house, and they were very enthusiastic. Sure sounded like it went way beyond a Costco type of thing. I will try to check with them and see how they feel now.

(Sorry, I saw this the other night, got distracted, and forget. My bad.)

Re: Direct Buy

my brother is a member, he paid $5000 and gets to buy furniture at a discounted price. For example the sofa set he brought cost $8000 and he got it for $4500.

Re: Direct Buy

No worries GB. Wasn't looking for a response from you specifically. Take it easy.

Re: Direct Buy

$5,000??????? Did you forget to insert a period?

If that's the case, then it makes sense if you're building a home.

Re: Direct Buy

$5,000 is correct. Yes Compry he built a house in GA that's why he said he went that route.

Re: Direct Buy

I am a member - I haven't bought anything yet but I have been to the show room several times and look around and compare prices. The discounts are similar to those given to architects/interior designers.

Re: Direct Buy

yes from what richD said the savings are great for major remodeling projects

also it seems bigger discounts area available on higher end products.. eg if you wanted a 8000K shower you could get it for 2K

it is said ifyou are building or renovating a home there are savings to be made by using directbuy

Ditto. The discounts are huge. I am going to use them to re-do my son's bathroom. There is a thread here from loooong ago about that. :meshame:

Yes Compry, its like Costco, but the membership fee is high. I am going to my bathroom and my kitchen. I should save more than what I paid for membership.

And BTW, the membership only really pays off if you are going to remodel with high-end materials/appliances. ex, you will get 50% off retail for a top of the line item, but only 10% off for lower-end products. So if you are buying lower-end, you can just wait for a sale, and save the huge direct buy membership fee.
