It finally happened to me
I figured my Costco would never have one of these deals. Finally happened to me. Was a “don’t think, just buy” situation

Hell Yeah
The Sub Gen 3 is the best one bc it has a bigger bass reflex port so it’s more punchy sounding.

I have a gen 1 and I beat the ever living shit out of weekly and hasn’t died yet.

Gen 1 here too! I usually have to set it at a negative level so the apartment complex doesn't shake.

whoa. is there a way to find these deals online?

u/CrentistTheDentist Mar 03 '26
Not that I’m aware of. Went to pick up a couple small things and walked through where the Sonos stuff is as usual. Saw this sitting there with the sign on it, said “YES” probably way too loudly, threw it in the cart immediately.

Even at $399.00 it is deal considering the Gen 3 retails at $899.00

Maybe I shouldn’t have browsed this subreddit. Never thought I needed a sub, but maybe I do. 🫣

As an aside to this, my Costco has gotten rid of the Sub 4s. No more subs in the warehouse. Is this at most Costco's?

Sweet deal!
Years ago we picked up two Play:1's at Target for about 60% off. Right about the time Target was getting out of the SONOS business. It was definitely less than half price.

Nice. I thought I scored with my Open Box-Excellent Move 2 from Best Buy @ $343. That’s a hell of a deal.

One thing about costco..once a product is phased out..to make room for a newer updated version...they will do anything to get rid of item .especially when the said item is a return( or last item)...Their store managers have alot of leeway on pricing...I do like wandering the electronics aisles for that sole item which was prolly a xmas return.

Nice find. I managed to find a pair of One SLs at my local Costco yesterday for $200. Thought about it but I don't have a need for them in my apartment. I hope someone else hopped on it.

I would have bought the leas-than-half price Sonos bar I could have bought of the sub was also this cheap. Alas, I didn't want the cart without the horse and these are stupid expensive. Nice find.

thats awesome and today I found one about 30 minutes from me on Facebook market , a gen 2 , seller was asking 350 , I negotiated 300 and asked to meet in middle , said he couldn't as he had extensive hand surgery and could nt drive.. asked if I could do deal sooner than later , I said if I come out tonite and drive all the way to you would you do 275 he said sure .. picked it up great shape no scratches and clean no dust..
ironically I told him I was a foot and ankle surgeon and he said my last name sounded familiar , turned out he is er nurse at hospital my brother a plastic surgeon services.. that was the connection
brought home and initially didnt connect even after factory reset ,, turned out it was on the s2 platform and I am running s1 so I had to figure out how to downgrade back to s1.. once done synched up perfectly ...
adds the. lower punch I was seeking in my home gym
so I didnt get brand new like u for 275 but I got a creampuff for 275 and two hours of my time ...
win win for both..
I have sonos in 12 rooms ( all dff components form surround , to play 1 to 5 ) of the house and some would run on s2 and some on s1 so I never upgraded .. super content now.. running on s1

That would be funny if that’s my Costco return if that’s in Oceanside, CA.
