Does anyone buy the often used "Selling for a friend" , by nobokov on Nov 5, 2023 17:33:17 GMT 1, There are so many people on here selling expensive artwork on behalf of their friends. Has anyone honestly sold something on behalf of a pal and if so, why didn't the friend just sell it by themself? If you did sell for a friend, does the friend give you a cut?

I'm sure that sometimes its a legit claim, sometimes its bogus. When I was first introduced to urban art/ street art around 2010 a friend offered that I could go through him to do transactions (buy, not sell) because he had been a member for a long time and had a good reputation. I never did but I think that could be a reason for some to "sell on behalf of a friend"

"Selling for a friend" = BULLSHIT

If youโre gonna resale do it with pride. As a customer Iโd be thrown off to deal with your imaginary friend. Who takes responsibility if something goes wrong???
P.s nobody falls for this bs

"Selling for a friend" = BULLSHIT Register on a forum, get attacked for trying to sell with your first post, get ripped off etc or get an established and respected member to do it for you? Selling is a lot easier here if you are known. I know which Iโd do if I had only half an interest in the art but something of value to sell. |

I sold a few bits here for a mate, he isnt here to do it, his Mrs wouldnt have wanted to register here, its not a nice place. Id guess that factor is strong for many selling for a friend posts here.

Itโs not a nice place? Why would you be a member on here if itโs not a nice place? Seems a bit odd. Iโve dealt with and met a few people from here and every one of them have been really nice people..

Not odd at all, im here for the art, not the arsehats. Also been here since 2011 and remeber it being better, fingers crossed one day, dan will turn it into an inviting place with some ACTUAL management and moderation. High point of this place was 2010 according to the statistics.

(Note: my "friend" is actually my wife who doesn't like the print, though I think the colors are stunning in person. Happy wife, happy life and all that jazz)

Ha! Yeah, luckily she pretty much let's me make the decisions when it comes to art but I'm trying to get her input now that we are rehanging stuff after repainted the walls.
She also allows me to have 12 smokers and grills in the backyard so I'm kind of pushing the strength of our marriage at this point!

Does anyone buy the often used "Selling for a friend" , by sean1397 on Nov 6, 2023 2:05:30 GMT 1, There are many reasons why someone may sell for a friend
Those reasons range from:
Legit:
Convenience
To not let a gallery or artist know that someone is selling (remember many people are gifted works, given discounts, or given first option to buy. They may want to sell anonymously
Shipping, travel,
Brokers with knowledge
Not as legit:
Customs, taxes, other taxes
Fraud
So there you have it. There could be 100 reasons to sell art for a friend ranging from he left it at your house to outright fraud.

I can't tell you how many people with gallery relationships have helped me obtain something when either I didn't have that relationship or the gallery had reasons why it was selling in one region or to new owners etc
