I have been using one of the free themes by jwebber, that also has the highslides incorporated, plus a quick view modification, and all I can say is that, any theme created by jwebber will be 100% professional, and very well priced, plus the fact that he is one of the first to provide themes on magento connect. Well done, jwebber.

It would be much more helpful to evaluate this offering if there was a functional demo site we could examine. Otherwise, it's somewhat of a blind purchase.

Yeah, this would only be useful if we could see a working site.

The problem with a demo site is the ease of stealing the css associated with the layout. I spent hours of work developing a custom CSS stylesheet for this layout, it would take someone just a few seconds to steal all of that hard work. If anyone is interested in purchasing this theme but would like to see a demo first, please PM me and I will arrange it for you. Thank you casterdon for your comments! -John

So maybe the pricing is a bit off? Have you tested the elasticity of demand at $149? Think iTunes. You charge $10-49.95 for a theme that is packaged well, then people will pay for it instead of swiping it. Not worth the effort to swipe a CSS file and try to configure it when the alternative it so competitive. I bet you'd do more in volume than you are doing at the $149 price point. But what do I know -- just a thought.

Easier said than done. $149 is about the right price for the quality of this theme. This is what an ugly oscommerce theme would sell for today. Our prediction was right that this was not going to cost $49. If you want some live demo we have some available at : http://www.demo.ecommerce-themes.com

This template has two great features, highslides and a very nice view cart dropdown, they are worth $100 on there own, so that leaves the template cost at $49. Then we have another template by Jwebber, with three great features, highslides, quickview, and a side catagories menu, plus tab's on detailed pge, so this template must be free, so that would make VisualFrames prediction wrong.
