Mihai,

Price is not like the other cart attributes because it is usually a 
dynamic amount that may include discounts affected by quantity, sale 
prices, options selected, etc.

If you want to specify a per-cart item price, try using attribute mv_price 
and see your catalog.cfg (or include files) for PriceField and 
CommonAdjust, which in the strap demo configuration is:

CommonAdjust   pricing:q5,q10 ;:sale_price, ;:price, ;$, :related, ==:options

It has powerful, complicated syntax:
