Hello,
I need to build a drupal store.
The needs are basic the only 'tricky' part is that the products need to have two prices. A public price displayed by default and a special price.
I thought the special price would be displayed for logged in users with a certain role.
I didn't build the website yet so i could use drupal 6 or 7 depending on which version offers the best options.
Thanks

It depends entirely on what you're using this special price for and who will be able to see and purchase with this special price. I know I had a similar setup with a UC module price_per_role but haven't been able to find a similar module that works for Commerce.
You can use rules to alter the price in Commerce I know, but it's limited to affecting all products instead of a few (unless you have different product types, etc to filter the rule with.)
So we would really need to see your use-case there but if all you want is one role gets price x and another role gets price y then you can try price_per_role.
I would strongly recommend
I would strongly recommend going with Drupal 7. Besides the module mentioned, Ubercart Price per Role, Drupal Commerce includes discount pricing rules which may allow you to do what you want.
Hello,Thanks to both of you
Hello,
Thanks to both of you for your time and comments.
The website is for a friend who makes etsy-like objects and wants to sell them.
She has deals with a few local businesses and she wants them to be able to buy objects at a 'special price'
So we thought each one of these businesses could be a user with a 'local-business' role and the special price will be applied.
Or maybe reusable coupon codes..
And of course a 'regular price' for random anonymous visitors.
Thanks again
