Different Sizes & Prices of same product

I just can't seem to comphrehend the options/attributes stuff. I've sold point of sales systems for years, had many cases of even three way options for one item - size / color / price for larger sizes. As well as mix or match pricing so that they could be $ 4 each, 3 for $10. I could get that easily.

But I am totally out of there on this -

I have several hundred fragrance products in each of maybe 8 categories. Perfume, colonge, etc. Each will be in it's own category. Then each different fragrance will be available in 5 or 6 sizes. Each size will have the same price throughout the category, so that 2 oz of cologne will always be the same price.

I don't want a base price plus so much for the larger sizes. I want size 1 to have a price, size 2 to have a price, size 3 to have a price, etc.

So, what I'm looking for is -

Perfume as a category,
Angel as a product
Chanel # 5 as a product
Then all of the products to have identical prices
1/8 oz $ 10
2 dram $ 20 (note NOT +10)
1/2 oz $ 50
etc.

Then Eau de Cologne as a category,
Angel as a product
Chanel # 5 as a product
Then all of the products to have identical prices
1/8 oz $ 5
2 dram $ 10
1/2 oz $ 25
etc.

Will someone here lay this (I'm sure) simple scenario our for someone who is off the sauce, hasn't toked in years, but just can't get this?

Product - Give it a price of zero and Price by Attributes
Option name: Size (or whatever you want to call it)
Option values: 1/8 oz, 2 dram, 1/2oz etc
Apply the price to each value as you insert it.

Then you should be able to copy all attributes to other products.

Hey Pete,

This should be pretty str8 forward. Try setting up your size attributes as you want (1/8 oz, 2 dram, 1/2 oz, etc..), and note you don't actually setup prices for these attributes. You're just setting up the option names and values which can be assigned to any product, each with its own unique pricing steps.

Now go to the products in your first category and select those size attributes to the product making sure to set the price for each size separately. So you'll select 1/8 oz and then type in your price of $10, then 2 dram and $20.

This will be for one product and the beauty of this system is you can copy attributes to all products within the category or other options as well.

So after you've done this for one product, go to a product in another category and follow the same steps but this time the prices for each size will be different.

Does that help or do you need further enlightenment? Might I suggest a toke, it may rest your busy mind...

Thanks! I think I might get it from what you guys have posted.

One of my dogs killed my Power Hitter some years back and I just gave it up. Good idea, though.
