The fabulous world of web giving us a simple and convenient way to sell and buy artwork online, art collections and antiques and it become easy platform to bring new horizons to art. However, it is necessary to know the market thoroughly, to avoid falling into any trap. Every day, we can see several ads on internet specializing in selling antiques and art collections like dry pastel paintings, contemporary art sculptures and more. They put pictures together with the words "for sale", contact information by quoting some price. Also galleries sites on the web say buy and sell works of art, may even announce their own sales in part on their sites.
Internet is a wild and large medium for sale artworks. But think twice before buying artworks online and if you are expert in market, then it will be a great advantage to buy paintings online from world famous master artists. Besides knowing what they are worth their artwork and how much you sell, you must also be shown to an interested, send them for approval if necessary, and make full payment if it sells. This can be difficult to deal with people they never met, and also can live hundreds or even thousands of miles from home.
Unless you know who you are dealing, the anonymous nature of the Internet presents some problems in the areas of selling and buying artworks online. For example, a small percentage of dealers and collectors spend their time searching in the Internet about art with less knowledgeable about the subject, whose prices are below market. For say - if you are looking to buy some famous still life paintings, first you need to check thorough about it in the market and take expert advice if required.
Some may also request detailed information on their collections, ostensibly to help decide whether to buy or not, when in fact want to offer for sale this same elsewhere, as his own, and if they fail a good deal, there just will buy their goods undervalued. Still others may come for obtaining the data to complete a false certificate of authenticity of a copy of the work you offer. You never know the difference, so it is not easy to make transactions in cyberspace if not fully known practice.
As for the web site of modern artist gallery that are advertised as buyers and sellers of art works, be aware that some of the most recognized distributors in the world are now online. Unfortunately, here too there are many unscrupulous who seek to take some revenue through deception or forgery.
