if the NewEgg price was $65 with free ship would you have bought it?

($65 is half the price at BestBuy)

Noticed that also.
So to recap.

$50 Refurb (favorable reivews of new units priced at around $150).
Unfavorable reviews of the refurb units, being DOA (and people having to pay out of their own pockets to return the unit), or dieing shortly after the short 30 day warrenty.
Also, shipping costs are moving around on the fly.

So soundbar = good
dealing with newegg = bad

Sale price at BB/FS for the soundbar was only around $80 this time last year, I noticed that because I was trying to sell mine on Kijiji and got tons of low ball offer.

As mentioned before, with it being a refurb, there's a good chance the issues with the new ones were fixed in the refurbs.

But they don't use that for Optical audio do they? Has to be fibre optic i thought.
There is a tiny fixed wire coming out of the sub..... you can't replace it with you own cable.

Based on past experiences with Sony, they tend to use proprietary cables. Not sure if that's the case with this.

*EDIT*
This appears to use a proprietary audio cable which looks like it's attached to the sub, to connect the sub to the soundbar.

Free shipping would really sell this one for me.... think I'll spare my neighbors and pass on this one, but nice find.

Agreed, but it should also be stated that you are taking a chance. Be the odds favorable or not.
As a buyer, and at that price, you need to determine just what the chance you are willing to take is that you'll get a perfect unit, a DOA one, or one that may die shortly after the 30 days.
Newegg isn't as easy to return to as some other places. The reviews are not that favorable in that regards.

I ordered this to replace my Samsung HW-E550... then realized my Samsung sound bar is way better than this. I should have read reviews before placing an order...

it is fibre optic, aka TOSLINK which most TV's have


Good price, I have a similar samsung unit, It's nothing crazy in terms of sound quality, but definitely a step up from TV speakers

The subwoofer is light as a coke can. Speaks for the quality of the magnetic driver. These will be slightly better than TV speakers.
