I need to find out a good way to support volume discounts for software sales in SFDC, having the standard unit prices fixed on a product level. A users selects the product they need, the quantity and customer discounts. Having one product record for each volume threshold would create thousands of products which is not really a good solution...
How does other software companies handle this, with custom objects and apex? Third party solution? Manually entering list prices?
We are on PE, so can't go for apex...
Thanks for all input!

I would spend some time on AppExchange checking out your options there, being sure to filter for Professional Edition. One options (I haven't used it) appears to be Big Machines Express. I'm guessing there will be at least a couple of others. After looking at them you'll be in a better position to decide whether to go that route or to build something of your own using custom objects. You won't be able to do it using the standing product / pricebooks.
