Best way to sell artwork?

[sx100]

Hi!

Sorry if there is already a thread existing about this topic…

Looking into selling some POW prints and I was wondering what the best way is to go about it. Ebay? via a Gallery or via Forums like this?

Any advice from savvy Sellers?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if I can add anything to the conversation since previous comments have covered pretty much everything.

But here goes:

Unless you have something very special from POW, I'd think forums or ebay would most likely be your best bet for prints. If you want to sell here, you can post in the "Buy, Sell & Trade" section. It seems like people appreciate listing a fixed price, instead of asking for an offer or for interested parties to pm or email. The Banksy forum would be another site to think about selling POW prints. I don't frequent that forum, so I can't give you any specific advice about selling there.

As for ebay, you'll get a lot more people looking at your items, but then you'll have to pay fees for selling. Seems like fixed item fees are now close to 10%. Also, there's a higher likelihood of deadbeat bidders. Often people try the forums first, and then move to ebay if they don't have any luck or need to sell fast.

Auction houses would be another option, but again only for items of decent value. Artnet Auctions and Paddle8 are online auctions that speed up the process, charge lower commissions and generally deal with lower-end items, as compared to real auction houses like Christies, Sothebys or Philips De Pury.

That's about it, except for buy low and sell high.
