<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 416387, member: 37&quot;]When trying to sell works by living artists, set your sights low.&nbsp; For whatever reason, people are not willing to pay anywhere near what it will cost to buy directly from the artist when buying on the secondary market.&nbsp; It kind of makes sense in that the types of people who buy current art from galleries directly from artists are different than those searching the secondary market.&nbsp; Unless the artist has an established record on the secondary market, people are generally unwilling to spend much for the works.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As an example I had a work I purchased by a well known artists who&#039;s works sell for $ 5K+.&nbsp; My painting was from 10 years or so earlier in his career but still had an original price tag over $1000.00 .&nbsp; I tried unsuccessfully for several years to sell it, starting at $750.00.&nbsp; I lowered my price numerous times and ultimately sold it locally for an offer of $150.00.&nbsp; I had absolutely no interest in it when offered on ebay, despite a best offer option.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
