There's no reason to have a bunch of different prices. You just have a total weight allocation for each customer, and instead of just weighing your bags, they weigh you and your bags. If the combination is overweight, you pay excess just like you do now. (Ideally on a somewhat proportionate scale as opposed to the "oh you are 1lb over, that'll be $100" approach many airlines seem to use now.)
