Hmmm...  I was hoping that by now I would have heard someone say there was a simple fix.  I would take a complex fix by now.  The only solution I could come up with was to actually list my product 4 different times calling them (1 pound)(2pounds)(5pounds) and (*bulk).  It is a real pain in the "you know what" to have to list the product 4 times everytime. To make matters worse the products were then lined up single file vertically meaning one would have to pan downward and try to figure out what was going on.  Not good!

I ended up getting a mod allowing a 4 panel across column which at least lines them up like soldiers and folks can better figure out what is what here.  If you would like to see an example of what I am talking about take a quick peak here:  [url]http://www.thebeanstock.com/catalog/default.php?manufacturers_id=10[/url]

So now someone can make a purchase of an item and choose among the weights.....it will calculate appropriately and I don't have to worry about it.  It would be so much nicer though if one could choose a drop-down menu within 1 product and choose.  I could then offer products in 1 pound increments 1-100 or more if I wanted too.  

Anyone out there got the real deal?  I would like to change this band-aid fix.
