Direct Buy?

[JohnnyRPM]

Anyone have any experience with this? I'm a builder and thus have some access to contractor prices and am pretty good at scrounging up deals on the internet but my brother in law just joined (also a builder) to buy for his own personal house he's building and with my own new one coming up I wonder if I should give it a try. Seems to me it's just another informercial foolish people desparate to save money fall for. But does anyone here have any actual experiences? Do you really save enough money to offset the huge membership cost?
