I've been searching up my local classified buy/sell for used stuff but unfortunately haven't found much stuff. Some 2.0 receivers, but nothing that I could use for 5.1 stuff. Only stuff I've found would require me to drive far enough I'd be spending the money I'm saving just in gas haha.

I think what gets me is that I could honestly buy a 2.0 setup and afford it right now, but I just feel like it would be hard to justify it for myself when I could get a decent setup at half the price.

And yeah, that soundbar is surprisingly good for that price range isn't it? I listened to it at a friend's house and was honestly floored by the quality considering the price. Glad to know I'm not crazy about it sounding decent haha.

Thanks for the comment, think what I might do is get the soundbar just to have something decent now and then slowly build up a collection over the next year without being in a hurry to get something good.
