Is anyone a member of Directbuy.com? How much is the membership fee? Any catches? Pros and Cons?

Can't really find any information about their membership fees and rules..|||I am not a member but I know many people who joined and they all regret it. The major con in this operation is that it is designed to discourage you from using it. You will find that the money that you save with them is comparable to the money that you would save at your local retailer.
