set the starting bid at 99 cents
guaranteed auction success
if you're really worried about them not selling for enough then put a reserve on 'em,
but i recommend you don't as it puts people off

Why do you think it's fucked up for a sacred object to be on ebay? The temple needs as much exposure as possible. we aren't going to only sell to those who only come in to the temple. There's a vast population that are into Kalachakra, and other empowered objects.
Could you please elaborate?

Everyone at the temple are being unified by combining out talents to set up an ebay store, what's unethical about unified a new sangha of people through e-comerce?

As the others have, said, plus I'd add (as an afterthought):
Some people are put off from buying stuff they might percieve as from a "cult", or even just a religion different to their own. Obviously, this won't lose you any sales on religious paraphenalia, but perhaps on the music stuff?
I mean no disrespect in this; they're not my views. It's just that as you're in America and a lot of people are vehemently anti anything other than Christianity when it comes to religion, it's something to consider.

Maybe eBay's not the place to sell items of this kind of thing. I'd suggest setting up your own online store and maybe your own site dedicated to this subject so that "the right" people who were interested in thias field might visit for information or whatever and then buy an empowered plate, I can do it all for you for $500.

it's a very nice looking pendant. why not sell it for what it is, rather than claim it's 'empowered' and 'grants blessings'.

Are you suggesting a myspace page is more the way to go?
"darirulaitemple has 431 friends"

Would you sell an empowered pendant for normal pendant prices?

You can buy solid gold neck chains down the pub for less that $108 that have been 'empowered' from someones neck that
a) look better b) could be sold on once you fix the clasp.
