Can we offer two items with the same price on a price set ?

1) Single 
2)  twin bed
3) double bed

The last two having the same price. However I got:

Please correct the following errors in the form fields below:

How to avoid that ? (a hack will do...)

I really wouldn't mind, but these stange accountant persons are quite anal on these little rounding cents, and I'm sure going to have a hell of a time trying to explain that to them ;)

Can I just get it of that check of unique value or is that going to have no good for my karma effects down the road ?

we've reused the option group/value data model for price sets, which in retrospect is just wrong for price sets (since items could have same value, but the data model does not allow it in a clean manner). we store the value, in this case it would be the same price. So even if u hack the rule, at the end, you wont have the info on who chose the single/twin/double bed

so introducing an artificial price difference between the three might be your only reasonable option at this stage (yes, it does suck)

So make one 79.99 and the other 80.01 and the accountants might be able to sleep at nights ;-)
