Please some basics when selling!!!!!!!!, by Wanchope on Jan 15, 2022 3:48:17 GMT 1, Hi All, I joined this forum maybe 2 yrs ago now, but have been collecting since 2001 or so. I am proud to be a member here but have noticed all sorts of art being sold here or trying to ( never heard of a lot of it so donโt know who is posting it)?? Can we not make it a rule that if you want to sell something you put a few photos of it and a price pleaaaaassseeee! A one liner and โDM meโ is rubbish. I know we all feel the same so stop looking all โcloak and daggerโ and quite frankly dodgy or just greed orientated ( those of you who do) and give us a price and photos at least! Anyway rant over and I hope peeps read this and consider the post with itโs positive merits and intentions.

Anyway rant over and I hope peeps read this and consider the post with itโs positive merits and intentions. Totally agree. ย Not only is it annoying to keep reading posts that say "selling stuff. PM me for pics and prices", it's also self-defeating. ย I'm sure most people read posts like that and simply move on. ย I know I do. ย exactly mooncub, I donโt even bother looking at those posts anymore. Have a good weekend

Please some basics when selling!!!!!!!!, by Hey Brooklyn on Jan 15, 2022 17:54:34 GMT 1, Hmmm. Donโt agree with the need for images. Itโs up to the seller on how they want to conduct their sale but I have a very strong POV on how the best sales and the best members operate on this forum.
Yes! 100% on pricing. Post what it is worth to you as a seller. Buyers that know the print or know the artist can then decide to DM the seller. The price should be set at what the value is to the seller X current market values. As a buyer, if you like it. You buy it. Or negotiate. Any party can and SHOULD call out any over priced valuation but only with actual knowledge. (recent auction prices or recent forum sale or an available piece online or at a gallery.) Itโs the only way the collective can help set real market value and protect each other from malicious members from exploiting others. This is a forum to celebrate art and the artists and exchange work at fair prices.
Prints for sale: Artist Name of print & date If itโs signed or not. Price
Originals: Artist The medium The size The date The price
If you know. You know. Or start googling. Do the work. Itโs on the buyer to know if theyโd be interested in the work. Then and only then, DM the seller. Browsers and tourists are a waste of time.
Also, while Iโm ranting. When you do DM, be cordial. Say hello. ๐
