This is already built in. What version of IC are you using?

Below is a snippit from the 4.9.8 catalog.cfg, which should explain itself.

# Pricing setup
#
# If the user is logged in and is marked as a "dealer" (1 in the dealer
# field in the userdb database) then they are given quantity discounts
# based on price groups. (All products are in price group 1 as
# distributed.) If the quantity is 1, then pricing comes from the
# "wholesale" field in the products database.

AutoModifier pricing:price_group

#
# If the user is not a dealer (or not logged in) then pricing just comes
# from "price". Any quantity discounts will be set in the qN fields in the
# database, and are separate from dealer quantity discounts.
