Title: direct buy
Post by: cyndezu on October 01, 2007, 01:15:19 PM
Anybody like this concept?
They really twisted my tail about forking over money now or I would never be allowed to participate in their wonderful opportunity at any time in the future.

I've never used them but here's the first link I found and I'm sure there's many more.

Almost every scam like this has a way you can actually save money. If you are facing a major renovation (and have $50,000+ in your wallet) then you can save a lot of money buying through directbuy. Anything less or slower than that, and you will lose... a lot.

Hello!  First time I saw the ad with the dude that claimed he SAVED $40,000 on his cabinets in his home was the Red Flag for me.

He saved 40 grand, alright. It's called cardboard, my friends. All of that behind him is cardboard.

We flew outta there, anything worth buying doesn't
need a gimmick like that.
After reading rip-off report and many others I worry about the people that buy into this, the one's who can't afford 40k in anything.

I've heard the same thing.  I do know one person who re-did most of his home and feels he saved a lot by using Directbuy, but you need to make a lot of purchases...... not just something once in a while.

This should be obvious to most people, but just so that everyone knows... those web groups that say you can get a free **** (iPod, Laptop, etc) are total scams. They don't send you anything. They simply want your information so that they can make money off the adds that are sent your way.
