"stuff I bought was real close to what I would have paid for it at the

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see how a person can spend thousands
of dollars on something like a couch or other furniture ...
without actually seeing it, sitting on it, lying on it, etc. ...


My guess would be most of the yuppies suckered into this deal will use
the facilities of the various other brick-n-mortar stores in town as a
showroom then go order--still another mark against both the store and
the clientele imo.

That's assuming you can actually compare what they offer with hard-
assets in a local store. Considering that they apparently don't allow
you do that *before* paying the admission fee, them there yuppies
would be taking a rather significant risk.
