These came with the house I moved into recently, they where mounted high up in the rooms on mounts, which are also included.  These are the gen 1 units I think (not AirPlay compatible), they work great with the app, but I don't use them much at all - I now have HomePods and a decent soundbar, so out they go.  These are great sounding units.

Please note - I know very little about these, I don't think they are One SL units and there seem to be a lot of similar looking units, so happy to be corrected on the model.  I am also therefore unsure as to the value, how does $500 for both units including the brackets sound?

Happy to ship but don't have original boxes, or pickup in Auckland is fine.

Do they have physical buttons on top or touch?

Thanks, they’re the old Play:1 units.

$500 is too expensive for Play 1s. I am happy to offer you $150 for one without the bracket.

I’m keen but yea wouldn’t pay more than $300 for both. Wouldn’t need the brackets.
They’re unsupported now and you can’t mix unsupported models with new ones I don’t think.
There’s two different apps now.
I have an old play:5 so these would work with it.

I have an old Connect and a Play 1 and a Sonos One SL. All are controlled through the same app.

I am sure I am running the new app as well - it asked me when I installed it, and I remember choosing V2 something.  I will think on it today, I am quite keen on that offer.

According to the Wikipedia article the Play:1 is S2 compatible. In fact, it seems like it's only some very old products that don't support it.

I have the same speakers, purchased about 5 years ago, I'm running them under the S1 app as I have an old Play 5 in my mix.

 

What they are missing is Airplay.

 

The current One SL is compatible with Airplay 2 and retails for $319 new.

These look like my Play:1 units that I've got mounted in each bathroom and that I control using the S2 app. Mine are white.
