p.1 #1Sony a9 seems to have a great instant rebate currently.....
Just for the heads up to those interested: Major retailers seem to be having an instant $1K rebate on A9. Don't remember seeing a brand new A9 for just under $3K.
A7R4 (as well as A7R3 and A7r2) also has $500 instant rebate. Not sure of the end date.
First saw on SAR, and then on various retailers' websites.

Just moving product. We are in a Pandemic and still millions out of work. We see this all the time.

Competition from Canon's R5 & R6 might have something to do with it too. Just trying to keep the Sony horses in the corral.

Not unusual to see big deals through retailers during Amazon Prime Days.
Look what Canon is doing today. Now, those are discounts.
Right now, B&H is offering the 5DS for $1,299, a discount of $2,400 from the normal price of $3,699, and
The 5DS R for $1,499, a discount of $2,400 from the normal price of $3,899.

I saw that...I can't imagine what a well-worn copy will go for now on the B&S...

That looks like a new low price at B&H but I'm pretty sure that one eBay seller has offered brand new 5DS for around $1,100 for the past year or so.

I'm hoping the rumors of A9X with 50MP are true, but since it's from SAR, I'm taking it with buckets of salt. If so expect huge fire sales of A9 and A9 II.

Rumors of Nikon Z9 (if indeed some of the rumored specs turn out to be true) can make a strong case for an A9X.

Is the lower price of the A9 a harbinger of a MK III model?

Not necessarily. I picked up my A9 for $3099 back in 2018 (on Greentoe, but clearly Sony was behind the discount). Sometimes I suspect they just want to shift product or lock up customers who might otherwise be looking elsewhere (responding to Nikon’s new releases?).

Picked up a B&H A7rIV with 128 GB card, extra battery and a retrospective bag for $2998. Nice deal. I think my transition from m43 is now complete with both the A9 and A7rIV.

Wouldn't that be the A9II being discounted. Curious why it's receiving no discounts.

Probably because it's only a year old and there is no A9III or A9R or A9X anytime soon.
Do people really believe there will be a new A9 in Q1 2021? I don't trust a single thing SAR says. His sources have proven time and time again to be complete garbage.

Maybe the new A7 IV will offer performance close to the A9, and Sony wants to clear out the A9 before releasing the new camera...?

Well the A9 was heavily discounted after 12 months, only reason I bought one, reduced from $6500 to $4500. A9II should be getting some sort of discount, the A7RIV is hardly much older.
