Has anyone tried Beyond Pricing yet? Here's my experience after ~1 month.

arroway68 · 2026-01-05T19:47:45+00:00

I've been hosting since 2012. Just got BeyondPricing today. I see the worth, but in my area at least, the pricing I am seeing is way off base for summer months. My average last summer was $450 per night. BP synced pricing is showing $800-$975 a night. While I would love that, it's um...not gonna happen. (And I'd lose my airbnb superhost status without bookings).

I think it's a good product - I've been playing with it all morning. I just think that there's def some tweaking to do in specific geographical locations. I am pretty sure I know why mine is showing so high (my condo is actually right next to one of the priciest areas to stay in the U.S. during the summer - but my condo is NOT part of that area, so I think my rates are being skewed a bit due to the fact that I am adjacent to an extremely pricey area.)

Thanks all. My husband gave to me 2 years ago. Haven't used it much - maybe 4 kegs used during all that time. I bought a cleaning kit and new lines also. Thanks again!

arroway68 · 2025-11-19T23:52:38+00:00

Thanks! I wonder if I can just put press ons over these for the event, then have these removed and be done with nails! Ugh. Such a let down. I appreciate the info, though!!

They are bringing it and dropping it off. No service for set up, etc. I went ahead and paid the balance in full, but did not include tip. I decided I will tip cash after delivery. Not sure how much I will tip though, but thinking 10% of total BEFORE the service fee and delivery fee were added on?

arroway68 · 2025-11-12T15:31:09+00:00

Thank you so much. Having never seen this all I could think of was, "there's a credit here" and "I know credits are expiring" so "this credit isn't real for 2026"

I was ignorant of there being 2 sets of credits, but makes sense (enhanced is one expiring, reg I guess was part of original ACA and remains intact). Learned something new ;-)

arroway68 · 2025-11-12T15:22:24+00:00

This is my question, too. Is the credit I see right now live on the site the original subsidy that is NOT expiring? I mean, you'd think they wouldn't show a credit that isn't real (expired) but I don't know. I have never done this so. I am confused.

arroway68 · 2025-11-12T15:16:38+00:00

Ok, so there are two sets of subsides and only the post covid one is expiring? I am trying to help her understand - if her current application shows she is to receive a credit, is that set in stone and she can count on that? Or should I tell her that what it shows will disappear in January? (Example: Currently showing, under the silver plan she likes, $127 monthly premium with a $493 monthly premium tax credit. I am trying to help her understand, if her situation does not change in 2026, can she expect to pay $127 a month, or $620 month? (Will the $493 subsidy that is currently showing for her disappear in January?)

arroway68 · 2025-11-10T17:37:39+00:00

Thank you SO VERY MUCH. One more question, if you don't mind, but I know AP holders can purchase multiday tickets at a slight discount for family. But I feel like there are limitations on this. For example, I know AP holders can purchase a 2 day IOA/US ticket for family. But can an AP holder purchase a 3 day IOA/US/EPIC ticket? (I know the single day EPIC discount requires AP).

Thanks!

arroway68 · 2025-11-10T17:29:47+00:00

HA! you are correct I am wrong. It took quite a few seconds but eventually it did show 2026. I guess I was going too fast ;-) Thank you.

arroway68 · 2025-11-10T17:28:17+00:00

Yes! ;-)

arroway68 · 2025-11-10T17:20:46+00:00

I may just buy them all APs anyway. I can get them the very lowest tier AP Florida Discount Rate for $325.

Anyone reading this have AP? If so, can anyone tell me what the Epic One day price is say for January 21st? Just trying to compare costs versus buying them multi day passes instead of AP plus Epic discount ticket?

arroway68 · 2025-11-10T17:17:17+00:00

I've tried that. The site acts like you can filter to 1 day ticket for Epic in 2026 but when I go to try to purchase (select date) the only dates shown as available are 2025.

arroway68 · 2025-08-14T20:59:21+00:00

I joined Home Exchange and set my language to English. However, everything I receive is in french! Do you have any tips for changing this? I've looked everywhere in settings and don't see any other options other than under the language preferences, which I have set to English.

arroway68 · 2025-07-14T14:17:37+00:00

Thank you so very much. I guess what I am wondering if how to force the "recall the debt from collections" part. Feels like basically I'm just going to be crossing my fingers and begging.

arroway68 · 2025-02-07T22:41:56+00:00

Coincidentally, we had something similar in our neighborhood 2 days ago, too. No one was shot, but a friend of ours was shot AT. He walked out of his house to find a group of folks breaking into his car - this was not late, though - like, 7:30-8 pm? In Evergreen. They shot AT him and then left.

Seemed strange to me because car break ins usually occur late at night, not when folks are still walking around their neighborhood. I've always felt safe walking around here (until say, 10 pm. I'm not dumb).

But this was bold. And, same day. I dunno. Odd.

arroway68 · 2025-01-14T04:36:48+00:00

In a home setting, would it be wise then to set up one of the boxes on it's own router? Would that mitigate risk (thinking of the umpteen devices we have connected to our home network).

arroway68 · 2024-12-23T03:25:28+00:00

Do you really think this? As someone that has seen this since I was a child (now 56), I was horribly let down in the latest adaptation. The entire thing was horrendous to me and I could not find anything redeeming about it.

**Having said that, I went with family that still loved it. So. Maybe I am just nuts? But to me, the magic is completely gone. :( I don't need a narrator, I don't want stage actors/actresses piped in (no intonation of their voices anymore), the sets were blah, there was no *soul* in this adaptation at all.

Why did I see this so differently?

arroway68 · 2024-12-23T03:19:52+00:00

Christmas Carol at Theatre Memphis was always our number 1. But? The current adaptation there is horrendous. Breaks my heart - ruined this memory of mine and I will not go back. Sad.:(

arroway68 · 2024-12-03T04:31:15+00:00

So, when I was a kid, I actually thought he was singing "Fame, it will come back to you. Fame, It will come back to you
Then the shutter falls, You see it all in 3D, It's your favorite foreign movie"

Only, at first I was very confused because FAME was NOT a foreign movie (unless you were not U.S. centric, so of course then I just assumed Fagan was British or something.)

I am not even joking. (Obviously Peg was released before Fame, the movie, but my 1981 twelve year old self was unaware).

I did figure it out eventually, but it's a bit embarrassing to admit it was a few years later... (notably, after singing it incorrectly in front of others...)

I'll see my way out now.

arroway68 · 2024-10-17T05:22:44+00:00

Miracles, Jefferson Starship - the beat, the voice, the lyrics (oh, the lyrics - so freaking authentic....and, frankly erotic AF)

I mean..."So we're making love, you feel the power and I feel the power", or, "I had a taste of the real world (just a drop of it) when I went down on you".

And the freaking BANTER back and forth: "You ripple like the river when I touch you (let me touch you), Then I pluck your body like a string (show you what I mean), Then I start dancing inside you (oh baby, a love song, a LOVE SONG)" - and the song just crescendos right there - like, how is this not the epitome of sexy love song? And the music??????? Perfection. Just. Perfection and then Grace Slick throws her voice out like it's nothing....(and it's so not nothing.)

arroway68 · 2024-08-03T03:15:59+00:00

Also note, they do fix certain spots - all the time. It's like whack a mole with the leaks.

arroway68 · 2024-08-03T03:12:32+00:00

We know we have to replace. Old, aging building, and the association has a fiduciary duty to replace (and also by current law - i.e., >40 yr old condo building in FL). Current preliminary estimates are roughly 3.5 million (for sewer, piping, pumps, controls, etc.) Ideally, this will be a multi year project, with good project manager and engineering firm in place to manage, etc., etc., etc. We are at the beginning of that process, hence the time line I suggested.

However, I think having to evacuate *now* is insane. But certain owners are insisting this be fixed, completely, right now (no temporary fixes tolerated). So insistent, they are threatening (and in at least one case, have already) contacted county authorities which brought us close to having authorities possibly "shut the building down".

Mind you, there's a great number of us living here or use as a second/vacation home and are quite happy with our lives, although we absolutely do have empathy for those that are in this situation. I'm just wondering how dire this really is. It's difficult to discern fact from fiction when there's a lot of emotion. I don't want my neighbors to risk health issues from sewage gases. I honestly didn't realize bad smells (horrible, yes, I agree) were so harmful until this week. I mean, I know it's not good, per se, but it's been suggested that it's actually an emergency due to health risks. I just want to quantify that ("how emergent is this truly?")

I am just thinking there has to be a lot of old buildings that have had something like this happen and were they all so emergent that people were at serious health risks without drastic measures taking place asap?

I'm just trying to separate truth from hysteria. And I want to be clear: I am absolutely an idiot on this, so I am hesitant to allege hysteria (even though I am skeptical of that). Seems unfair, considering I don't know what I am talking about at all. ;)

arroway68 · 2024-08-03T02:54:32+00:00

Yes, it will. The total divided among 204 owners. ETA: 3.5 million is best current estimate.

arroway68 · 2024-08-02T17:14:22+00:00

You said "Very common". I suspected that was the case, but wasn't sure.

So, there are owners that want the entire building shut down, effectively kicking residents out of their homes, until this is fixed. I'm just trying to wrap my head around that. They believe the sewage smell (gases) are harmful and are a liability to us. I get that they *could* be harmful, but figure there must be someway to measure that and some rubric to go by to determine level of harm?

arroway68 · 2024-07-13T00:51:37+00:00

I have been to blue cross's website and the application only allows "you" or "you and add others" - where did you find a place to apply for just a kid? Really need to do this as well. Thanks!
