Your site map on the actual website only appears to be an abbreviated one. At the very least make that complete and I would try to see if you can get 'deep linking' to the various parts of your website. Get inbound links to those deeper product pages.
These pages are critical to crawl because even though its not the main page many times you will find that these pages are actual entry pages and it seems (at least from my business) that the search queries coming into these pages are more specific and more likely to generate a sale, so definitely keep at it.
To other members, is there any evidence that 'long' dynamic urls don't get indexed well?

This was just a goof page I made a long time ago,
Tribe Azure Jewelry. On the left you see the items listed. They aren't linked but that was the intention. I did actually have my index.asp page this way for a while. Is this what you mean?
I do have a few long urls indexed, not many but a few.
Thanks! Nicci

Yes, the person who set up the cart changed it for me. Since I don't know about the database or asp code, I'm very hesitant to try to tweak anything.
Thanks for your support!
