Basics

Have they been in business for a number of years? Do they have a location or a website where you can go to see the artwork, or are they just a PO Box? Do they offer a return policy? ASK QUESTIONS!!. We are confident that the prices at ARTinaClick.com are 30%-50% less then traditional gallery prices and other online websites

Lack of expertise.

Be very careful when buying works of art at On-line auctions. Many of the people offering the artwork are not experts and do not really know what they are selling.

   
Should I pay by check?

Payment by check

If you must pay by check, ask the seller for some references (people they have done transactions with before). You want to make sure they are ‘real'.

   
Does the person offering the work have to own the work?

Do they own what they are selling?

It is important to determine if the person selling the work of art actually owns the work, or has the owner's permission to sell it.

   
Should I be concerned about the look of a site?

The sellers site.

A well-designed site with a polished look is a confidence builder. But do not make this the main reason to buy from someone. Remember... do your homework!

Authenticity

If you buy from an On-line site, make sure the seller guarantees the works. All Limited Editions Pieces purchased at ARTinaClick.com come with a certificate of authenticity.
