Just got back from my local Costco and purchased one. It appears it was marked down today. Picture posted to the Community Wiki.
The Puyallup, WA store had about 15 units left after I purchased mine.

I will never purchase another Orbi product and I can't recommend them for any price. I have a support ticket open with them that's been going for months with no resolution. The mesh system we have has constant drops and has to be reset every couple of days because all devices stop getting a signal.
I had the same system and the constant disconnects and satellites randomly restarting were it fun. I went with another brand and couldn't be happier.
I've owned Orbi products, and had problems with them from day one. To make matters worse, they only had 90 day support....though that may have changed. And, while this is purely subjective, I think they're the ugliest home electronic devices on the market.
I now have TP-Link Deco mesh products...been fantastic since install which was a breeze. Not one hard or soft reset in over two years.

I've been losing faith in netgear ethernet products for the last 5 years.
Because Unifi is essentially enterprise grade, has been around for a while and has a lot of different components which can be integrated or can allow the system to scale.
LOL the only one being ridiculous is you. The OP stated it's YMMV. That's why people were calling around to see if their stores had it at that price. And as many found out their stores don't even carry the item.
Costco isn't going to price match another Costco anyway and if they do consider yourself lucky. Not all items are sold at ALL stores and not all Costco's mark down items to the same price at the same time.
Get over it and move on
Yea I literally just got the $450 Nest 4 pack for $75… New. Not a return. Not open. They had several. Sometimes they just clearance stuff to get it gone fast.

I thought omada was enterprise too. The feature set on the controller and switches seems quite inclusive.
Wow!!! When I saw this I RUSHED down to my local Costco here in western Washington. Of course they didn't have any, but I asked them what other stores had them and they said that Kalispell Montana had one and I happened to have a relative there! They grabbed it for me today. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
The theme of the community is consistent. This product is not exactly exciting. My experience with the RBR750 is poor.
1. Software updates sometimes brick the devices (just google for "netgear orbi software update brick"). Customer support is clueless and refuses to admit the problem and provide the solution which is to hardware reset all satellites.
2. satellite wireless inter-connection works but periodically suffers from blackouts and high ping times. I suggest connecting the satellites through Ethernet backhaul (using ethernet cabling to connect the satellites to the main satelite).
Other users mention alternatives such as TP-Link DECO and I can confirm that they indeed work fine where I deployed them at family member homes.
I'm currently looking into Unifi as a definitive solution.

Unifi is no more "enterprise grade" than Omada. It's prosumer/smb at best.

Same. It worked decent for about 1 year and then nothing but issues.
