OK, this is getting closer to being finished. It's a Temple setup including the props for various Initiations into the Western Mystery Tradition, i.e., the Golden Dawn and various offshoots. A few names some may remember that were deeply involved were Machen, Yeats, and Alistair Crowley (before he was expelled and began the Order of Thelema, and became new leader of the Ordo Templi Orientus. I wanted to get a little feedback on this regarding its pricing. Since I'm relatively new to the marketplace, maybe some pros could make a recomendation or 2. Thanks very much. OK, lets see, how to upload a jpeg of it....

I would think the price ought to, but doesn't necessarily, depend, on how detailed the textures for the prop is. So many props have very simplified textures so you can never get in close without the set looking like plastic. The Citadel from Beyond Bent was pricey because it has very hi-res textures, and lots and lots of usable surfaces, props and structures. MnD sets are often somewhat simple in modeling--- not always, look at the Tourelle--but the textures are extremely high quality and yet they are very reasonably priced. This is a specific niche product-- though one I would be interested in. I don't know if lower pricing would help you move it. It might. The Citadel, a Huge Set was $40. Fantasia one of the latest MnD/Marfono creations is on sale for $6 and it is rather elaborate. I've bought all but one of the MnD creations. Almost immediately. I bought the Citadel because I happened to have the money on me. The choice between $6--$10 and $40 is profound. But it's almost as much between $10 and $25. Just trying to let you know what one consumer is thinking. I'd buy it without much hesitation at $10 or less, I'd really have to think hard at more than that. Because of the limited use. Emily

Hi Emily, Thanks for such a thoughful answer, and I like the comparisons you made. I certainly don't want to over price it, because of the limited use, and really, the more people that have it and use it, the better, if you know what I mean.;-) I'm not talking about the money I make either. Interesting things happen to a person when working with life at the level of conciousness this represents. Anyway, that 10.00 point was kind of the area I'm thinking too, and actually I may not need to wait for more answers from others to decide that part. But seeing some other responses may help me in other areas as well. Thanks again! Regards, Adam Smith
