Ed,

Thanks for taking a look. Did you happen to use the back button to 
return to the sale page?

After some further testing, I found that buying audio tapes and 
changing quantity in the cart or on the flypage worked. If I used the 
back button to return to the sale page, and added more audio tapes, the 
quantities were still fine. It was only when I hit "continue shopping" 
or entered the sale page URL in the browser that the discounts got 
messed up.

Maybe I should change "continue shopping" to a javascript history 
thing...
