I was just wondering if it was possible for normal people to get ARC's (Advanced Reading Copy) of books.

To answer your question, some ARCs are given away in contests and giveaways. Search the internet and see what's available at the time. These things change very quickly. Some publishers--HarperTeen has a program where people can sign up for a chance to win books...I think there are four or five every month...you just have to send them your review. But if you love to read, you might like the chance to review and let your opinion be known.
ARCs are typically for booksellers, reviewers, librarians, and possibly teachers. They are a chance to let them know what is available and let them see if they want to order the book when it is released. They were not designed to take the place of the final product. HOWEVER it is wrong--and I can't stress this enough--very wrong to sell or buy ARCs. They state very clearly that they are not to be sold in any way shape or form. They are not meant to be sold to the public on ebay or Amazon or any other used retailer.

Sure! I've gotten tons of ARCs from ebay and half.com.
