If you missed the Sonos.com refurb Arcs, Sonos is selling them on ebay. Not as good as the $600 for new at Costco, but they are being sold by Sonos directly.

Just got this from Sonos (The Arc SL refurb); it was packaged like it was new. Setup was nearly instantaneous.
I needed to adjust the TV a little (it has eARC but somehow defaulted to sending a small audio delay and other weird things) and it's working really well. Some shows and apps sound better than others, still figuring this out. Overall though really happy. Was playing OW2 on the PS5 and never heard Sombra's gun rattle so nicely. Tested with Star Trek on Netflix which isn't Dolby Atmos and it still had a nice ability to throw sound around a bit. I also watched a Netflix made movie just to test out Dolby Atmos.
I had a 3.1 setup with a receiver and this doesn't always measure up to that setup in its ability to get loud or handle bass, but the processing in the Arc let's me hear dialogue much better than the old small center speaker I had and more importantly it's much more compact which helps the room look cleaner. At the full retail price I don't think I would've been happy, but at nearly 1/2 the current retail cost I think it's much better.
I went with this soundbar because I have old Play:1s that I will now use as rears, and working towards eventually getting a Gen 3 Sub. There may be a new version coming in a year or so but I don't need the latest and great; I mean clearly since I waited this long to get the Arc.
By the way I prefer the SL because I have enough Google Home around the house.

Looks like they oversold. I ordered 9/3/23 and got an email this morning that they miscalculated their inventory. The good news is they offered me 50% off a new arc so it would actually end up being cheaper!

Same here, haven't received my code yet though. Does it work on just an Arc or one of the package deals? I wanted a white one anyway so this works well.
Ordered on 9/2/23 and got the same email. I'm curious as well to see if the 50% off is only for an Arc or can be used for anything. A couple of ERA 300's and a sub gen 3 would really go well with the Arc!
I replied to the email the day I got it, saying that cancelling for a coupon was okay, just got the coupon, and looks like it takes off a max $500 (added an arc, sub mini, and two one sl's) and it takes off $500 -- if I bring my total to less than $1000 (say, with just the arc), then it's taking off 50% ($449.50). So looks like we can also get an additional $50 off (to reach the max $500 off) if there's more that you may be wanting from sonos direct

Still waiting for my coupon. Do you know if it will stack? I have a15% off upgrade coupon I'd like to use as well.
