Can anyone tell me if DirectBuy would have a sofa like this and how much it is? I believe it's called Exhilaration by Ashley.
Somebody wrote: Yes, it does. The cost varies with scotchgard.... Well isn't that special! They could have provided price with scotchguard or price without scotchguard, but instead provided nothing at all. How helpful! A google shopping search provides prices in the range of $933 to $1419. Some of these include free shipping, the lowest one of which is $1125. These prices are of course subject to change, and they may also be temporary sale prices. One of these listings (with the $1125 price) shows the regular price as $1930. Without getting a price quote, there's no telling what the DirectBuy savings on a specific item will be. But you can imagine that even with a 50% savings, which would bring the price down to $965, by the time you added shipping and delivery costs (not to mention handling), you would be paying more to buy from DirectBuy. Even if they actually have a 75% savings off the MSRP on this sofa, it's easy to imagine that your savings after paying for shpping, delivery, and handling might be $350 or less. So you can see that you would probably have to buy a lot of these sofas (or other merchandise) just to break even on your memberhsip fee. And none of this takes into account that dealing with a seller who makes a profit on your sale has an incentive to make you happy with the sale, because they can profit from your future sales as well as from the goodwill you can generate for them. It's not as though DirectBuy actually forgoes the profit, they just take the profit upfront in the form of a non-refundable membership fee.
Yes, it does. The cost varies with scotchgard....
