Appearance
Used scenery and prop sourcing
This page records second-hand scenery, complete interiors, venue liquidations and bulky props that could be adapted for Traunsee Escape. The preferred acquisition is a complete, reusable environment that a seller needs removed, rather than an individual collectible prop.
Scope and status
- Collection base: Gmunden/Gschwandt.
- Active sourcing limit: maximum 800 km by road, measured to the actual pickup address rather than as a straight-line radius.
- Research snapshot: 25–26 August 2026. Marketplace listings and auctions are volatile; every price, inclusion, deadline and availability must be reconfirmed before planning transport.
- An auction result or indexed listing is not proof that an item remains available. Expired auctions are retained only where a post-auction remainder deal may still be possible.
- Distances below are city-level planning estimates. Borderline and undisclosed locations require a route check before contact.

Collection and conversion checks
Before reserving any environment, request:
- A current video walkthrough and an inventory of every included component.
- Overall assembled dimensions, largest transport dimensions, weights and number of pallets/vehicle loads.
- The dismantling deadline, loading access, floor level, lift dimensions, parking and available seller help.
- Assembly drawings, labelled parts, fasteners, fire certificates and previous structural documentation.
- Confirmation of ownership and whether visible lighting, electronics, furniture and props are included.
- A complete-clearance price that reflects the seller's saved dismantling, disposal and storage costs.
Acquisition does not establish suitability for public use. Tall scenery needs anti-tip or structural design; player-accessible platforms, stairs and elevated parts need professional review; materials need the fire performance required by the approved plan; and old mains electrics must be removed, inspected or replaced. No acquired door, cage, cabinet or mechanism may compromise the independent emergency-opening strategy.
