Atributes question

[Ajeh]

Why would I want to buy something from you and not know the price?

[TonyV]

First off, the prices in the atributes are not correct... when I set them up, they are only + the amount that I start with. For example,
the first atribute, is $135. and I need the second atribut to be $150. but when I do that, it adds $150 to the $135 which then makes the total amount on check out $285 which is incorect..
secondly, if I have the first atribute set at $135 and I want the other to equal $150 on check out, then for the second atribute I would have to put $15
now, that would be very confusing...
so I will be putting up tables, as I have many more options to add to the atributes, and the table will then have all the info for each item # including the price for each. So then the viewer will only need pick the item# they want from the drop down.

I am thinking this is the way to go. But if you have a better easier way, then I am all ears, and eyes.

hope this helps you understand more.
thanks

First, decide do you want to see:

Product Price $135
Please Choose: Something
Attrib #1
Attrib #2 +$15.00

-- OR --

Product Price $135
Please Choose: Something
Attrib #1 $135.00
Attrib #2 $150.00

Well, I geuss if those are my only two options, then I would want
Product Price $135
Please Choose: Something
Attrib #1 $135.00
Attrib #2 $150.00


as long as for example, attrib #2 calculates $150 on check out. that would be fine.

thanks
