At the end of 2023 BH Photo Video was selling the M1 Max 16” 64G/2TB for 2,499. It’s the lowest I’ve ever seen it anywhere and I got one myself.

Bought the same machine from the same store last December, been using it ever since with a big grin on my face. I'll probably consider upgrading in 2028 or later.

Thanks! Looks like obscure retailers sometimes have good deals.

BHPohotoVideo is huge, they've been around for like 20 years!

Best way I've discovered to find those sorts of deals is to use Slickdeals and set up alerts.
