As of 4/2/12, Lightroom 3 is $240 and Lightroom 4 is $145 on B&H. (In the second week of February 2012, B&H had Lightroom 3 on sale for $70, probably to clear out their inventory before Lightroom 4 was released.)
The only reason I can for not purchasing Lightroom 4 is if the buyer did not want to switch to Lion or Snow Leopard, since it now requires Snow Leopard or later. Yes, Lightroom 4 also requires a processor with 64-bit support, but according to Apple's support page on processors, everything since the Core 2 Duo and higher has 64-bit support. My MacBook Pro from late 2007 has a Core 2 Duo Processor.
