I assume you put this code here because the `templateHelpers` function runs every time an item's view is rendered, but this is probably not the correct place.  The semantically right place to do this is in the `onRender` callback.  You can add it:
```js
VirtualGoodView = Components.ItemView.extend({
    ...
    ...
    onRender : function() {
       // here
    }
});
```
This way you can also avoid the `setTimout` with 200ms, because the item will be already rendered for sure.
