Can the author attest that the lone reseller cited doesn't routinely do this? The title gives the impression that the M3 was discounted due to poor initial uptake, but there's no information presented which really supports such a conclusion. Perhaps that's just how I interpreted it, but it would be nice to know if this is "normal" or not, since that might tell us something about the M3.

Also, having gotten burned by one, I don't trust these NYC / NJ camera/electronics stores. I'm not sure I've ever bought anything from Adorama, but about the only one I'd trust is B&H.

I don't see how the title suggested poor demand, but I have doubts demand will be good. Looking the 3 M3 variants, the M3 Max is probably getting the biggest performance boost. The vanilla M3 also got a decent bump in performance, but also a significant bump in price now that you can only find it in a the MacBook Pro 14 setup. So to me, there is little reason for anyone using a M1/M2 based Mac to want to upgrade. I was considering a MacBook Pro 14 with the M3 Pro, but looking at the specs again, I may just skip it. I should thank Apple for making it an easy decision for me to not buy it.
