There's an electronics store in Ashfield that advertises prices for
"trade". Does this mean that possession of an ABN will get you these good
prices, or what exactly does one need to do to be eligible for their
"trade" prices? It doesn't have anything to do with the quantity of goods
purchased, does it?

Would it be enough to given them my sister's ABN (her "Majestic Cake
Decorations" business or something) and let them know I am picking up an
order for the boss?
WES seem to be fairly relaxed about this. Tell them you will be paying
cash up front (credit card is perfect), and occasionally order five or
more of something. The repair trade is dying, and much of the
otherwise uneconomical repair work is done by very small businesses,
retired techs, and backyarders. WES appear to understand this. After
all, which thriving business would buy a $30 video head for a $50 VCR,
or a $50 laser for a $100 music system?

Thats often a lie.
I thought that trade just got you a discount off the RRP whereas buying an
item for what a retailer does was considered wholesale??

** Back when we had the old wholesale sales tax system, the amount of tax
was calculated on the price paid at the transaction immediately prior to
sale to an end user.

So a retail shopkeeper paid sales tax on his ( taxable) purchases, so would
a tradesman buying materials etc. The tax was collected by tax office
registered wholesalers - who then paid it to the tax office.

However, any retailer could offer a "trade discount" to customers who were
intending to "on sell" the items - as a means of attracting business.
The discounted prices would often be the same as or better than those
offered by regular wholesalers - particularly if the retailer was making
bulk purchases from manufactures or was involved in direct importing.

As any sales tax would have been paid at an earlier stage in the chain it
would be a smaller amount.

This is what WES Components have long done.

Nope, 'trade' is another name for someone in the industry.
