What i'd like is this (for all products in a certain category only):

quantity as a drop-down WITH price modifiers so that for example my product quantity options will be a list like this:

15 - $110
20 - $130
25 - $150
30 - $165
35 - $180

there would be no list price / base price or at least it wouldn't show to customers.

I've tried doing this in two ways and neither is quite right.

FIRST NOT RIGHT METHOD: wholesale pricing
doing it this way, it shows like this
quantity as a text box
with a chart nearby showing the pricing per piece if you buy in certain quantities:
15-19 = $9.00
20-24= $8.90
etc.

SECOND NOT RIGHT METHOD: product options / price modifiers
shows a drop-down menu but there are two problems:
(1) there is still an overall quantity box at the bottom so a customer could conceivably order 100 sets of 100 invitations (or other less eggregious errors)
(2) the drop-down shows the pricing as an add-on to the base price when really i guess i'd like to get rid of the base price altogether for just those items.

am i making sense? is there an elegant way to do what i want to do?

thanks,
