I think I'd still rather pay 50 bucks more for new at Costco but not bad deal.

Agree. If you have Costco that is the better option, if for nothing else than better warranty coverage. If no Costco, then this deal is solid.

I'd rather pay a little more and wait for new (as another poster said). The military store recently had it for $499 for active duty or veterans. Otherwise Costco.

4 year warranty if you get it at Costco using their Citi card. Costco extends warranty by a year and then Citi extends another 2 years. Not to mention their 90 day no questions asked return policy.

Quote from MrSkeptic :
No. But it does have free built-in Planned Obsolescence!

This is a Mac for the Unknowing Masses or those who don't do much more than Internet surf, watch YouTube, making amateur videos to send to grandma and use office suites. There are many on Reddit forums kicking themselves for buying one and not paying the extra for a 16GB.

For anything needing lots of performance power or folks who like or need to have several apps open at once, the 8GB is a huge choke point.
I got the 8GB model, being new to the Mac world, it performs well for my use case. Heavy excel/office tools and safari browsing. Sure, I know I can do more with my 32GB RAM windows machine, but that's not the reason I got this Mac.
It all depends what you got it for.

That's perfectly fine for 98% of people.

You don't have to. If you find a $50 off $500 brings it down to $550

EDIT: Why is this post getting downvoted? This is a legit recommendation.
