Selling items in the store

This has probably been asked before and probably be a waste of anyone's time to answer this but my question is this.
How do i go about selling things on the torque store?
I have a few things created that i think people might like to list a few:
Military Vehicles with multiple seating positions and working turrets guns things like that
Mini-map generation notes - includes code to scroll mini-map to players position
Full RTS style template with gui control such as Ability to Build barracks, vehicle factory - each have their own specified units and things like that and also selection box, assigning squads like in command and conquer you would press ctrl+1 to make squad 1 that kind of thing.
Spawn points parented to flags - if flag is team 1 team 1 can spawn there etc etc
Few weapon packs - like weapons from today - UZI, MP5, AK-47, M16, SA-80 etc
Also how much would be a good price for these items?

GG might suggest a price, but look at other similar items sold here and in other stores (skip TurboSquid - prices are generally too low or too high ;). GamePrefabs typically have two prices (indie and commercial) not far apart, but it depends on how you'd prefer to license it. Per user involved, per studio, per project and so on. Infinitely usable models are of course preferred, but how would you license it for a project where many might have their hands in the files?(Insert long arguments over licensing here :)

Hmmm well i was hoping to sell models for infinite usage, i am creating models for an RTS starter kit that are not going to be in my RTS game. The main goal of it is the same as the goal of other kits just to show people how to do certain things. There wont be any sound effects other than the ones that already come with Torque, will b 2 versions as well 1 for Torque 3D 1.1 and 1 for Torque 3D 1.2, As for the weapon models same idea again I'm never going to use these exact models in any release more advanced versions the models just make a good starting point for anyone looking to add weapons into their game. Like a Weapon starter kit i suppose. Don't see much point in setting separate licenses for Indie or Commercial, gun kit will have 6 weapons and the RTS starter kit has 6 buildings with ability to set up teams 1 and 2 and team color all through GUI of course main thing really is AI

Show us some images of what will be in the packages. That should get you some feedback.
