Listing Your Art

Simply complete the listing information and add your picture(s) along with any description that may help sell your art. If yours is a limited edition print then you should make sure that the print is numbered and signed by the artist.

Your sale will be directly between the purchaser and yourself so make sure that your contact information is current.

Whether you are the buyer or seller, we strongly recommend an avenue such as Paypal to guard against transactions that may have been inadvertently misrepresented.

Our fees are simple …

For the first 4 listings, the cost is $15.00 each with additional listings at $12.00 each ….. Each listing lasts for one year and may then be renewed at $5.00 annually if necessary. (CAD Funds)

Once you have completed and paid for your listings, they should appear on the site within 24 hours.

Pricing Your Art

Every piece of art will sell ! … It’s just a question of time and price….. the lower the price = the sooner the sale. The higher the price, the longer it takes, just like any other commodity.

In determining your asking price the first thing to do is to forget what you paid for it – in some cases that may be tough and painful, but remember that whatever the amount may have been …. It’s “ old money.” … and you want to turn that artwork into “ new money.”

Secondly, check out the asking price of your print on various other venues. E-bay and Kijiji are good places to start and various on-line art dealers can also be informative. We say  “informative” because their asking prices reflect the fact that they have rents to pay, hydro bills, wages and a load of other expenses just to keep the doors open. Private sellers don’t have to build those factors into their asking prices.

You must be price competitive to make a sale.

At Art Sales By Owner we also have access to auction results across North America so if you need any assistance just send us an e-mail and we’ll do our best to help you out.
