Plugin for different pricing groups

I'm currently migrating from Neto (now Maropost), and one feature that I loved about it was the ease of setting different pricing groups. For example, I sell to both retail and wholesale customers, so I could set the regular display price of a product to 'group a', and wholesale pricing to 'group b', and my wholesale customers login accounts would give them access to the B pricing. All I had to do was fill in the different prices on each item, and when someone signed up for a wholesale account, I assigned their pricing group to the account.

Any recommendations for a plugin that can do that? I don't want to just do a blanket percentage discount for certain accounts because different products have wildly different margins.

Some of the cool old synths currently in the workshop

I get to work on and sell some pretty cool gear. Today I’ve been sorting out a Pro One, and in the queue are some rarities like a Baldwin Synthasound and and OSC OSCar. Got not one, but FOUR Roland CMU 810s that are on consignment which is wild given how uncommon they are.

There’s also an OB-8 over on the shelf that needs the keybed sorted, but that’s for another time.

Throwback to when our REA tried to fuck us on an increase

We lived in Bardia when everything was still being developed at Edmonson Park. Moved into a brand new 3 bedroom duplex, started at $450 a week. Did I mention this was 11 years ago? The developer of the estate maintained ownership of about 30% of the properties in the estate and rented them out. This was when rents were actually decreasing in the area. More properties built, more competition. So our rent kept going up and the real estate agents in the first picture, kept pushing it up.

I fought them constantly and for this, and other issues, we had to go to NCAT like 3 times in 4 years. They tried upping our rent to $515 and they refused to negotiate. I went all the way to the property portfolio manager at the developer to find out what the fuck the REA was doing.

I showed them the rents, and showed them 3 places around us were for lease including the place directly behind us with a shared fence, and they were all cheaper, and usually bigger. Place behind us was $20 a week less, with an extra bedroom. I said to them 'well, if you won't negotiate on the rent, then how about we apply for the cheaper place behind us, we can just throw the stuff over the fence and move in' and they wouldn't budge.

Thankfully NCAT were on our side.

Still, being reminded that we once paid $500 a week for a duplex with ducted AC, a garage, and a huge backyard and now we pay $550 a week for a 2 bedroom apartment with no AC is fucking depressing.

Love seeing investors cry

Sucks that we can’t cross post from Ausproperty anymore as they’re too busy having a sook. Here’s a screenshot instead.

Victoria will be the benchmark for what happens given their existing system.

The big budget thread

Well, there it is people. Actual change to the system, albeit not as far as almost all of us had hoped.

Main points as far as housing is concerned;

No more negative gearing for new purchases of existing property from tomorrow, but existing holders will be grandfathered in.
Abolishing the CGT discount and returning it to an indexed rate, with a minimum payable tax of 30%. Applicable on gains made from July 2027, and it also includes pre 1985 properties and assets purchased.

Is it perfect? No. Does it go far enough? Definitely not. Does it keep so much profit in the hands of those with assets? Yeah.

But it's at least a start.

Over the next 12 months we'll see a bunch of people weigh up keeping their properties, or selling them due to the changes to the discount. It took 25 years for shit to get this bad, and this may be the first step in undoing some of that, albeit it'll be another 25 years if we're lucky for it to change to a more equal system.

I'm already loving seeing the other subs with landlords freaking the fuck out over it and I wish them all a very merry shit their pants.

The tax raised on asset sales in future will be sizable too given the minimum 30% rate on profits, excluding the indexed portion. Now the bastards can't just hide behind trusts, and constantly carry over losses to pay almost nil tax.

Let's see where this all goes.

The UK used to have some alright protections for tenants that were rooted in all the historical president. Then of course, necro-pedo queen herself Mill Snatcher Maggie Thatcher changed it to make landlords an untouchable class.

UK Labour, despite being compete shit asses, suddenly implemented rental reforms that are somewhat sane.

- No blanket pet bans
- Abolishing bo grounds evictions
- Capping rent increases to once every 12 months with a mechanism to challenge if too great
- The ability to end a lease early
Plus some other stuff, and a lot of this is very similar to NSW tenancy laws.

So congrats to our pommie brethren on a slightly better system for tenants.
