Dont expect deals on small items, its the large/expensive stuff that gets heavily discounted.

I'm sure she tells you that so she doesn't feel so bad about herself.

So the gist of it is.

Your sister

1. Paid overpaid membership fee
2. Paid 40k for remodeling a kitchen that would've cost 20k.

I would love to sell her some DVD Rewinders.

I say it's a scam because they claim "direct from the manuf" when I can 100% guarantee it's not always the case. In fact, I bet I know where some of your sister's stuff came from.
