About Our Pricing

We sell fine art at below-market prices. What does this mean? It means that you will never pay traditional retail prices when you buy from us. To give you a better understanding of what that means, you should be familiar with a few important terms.

• Issue Price. An "issue price" is the price set by an artist's publisher when limited edition artwork is first released for sale. It is commonly referred to as the retail price. Generally, the best time to buy limited edition artwork is when it is first issued.
• Sold Out. When the publisher has sold all the prints in a limited edition, the edition is referred to as being "sold-out". That means in order to buy that artwork, you need to buy it on the secondary market.
• Secondary Market. This is a network of art galleries, dealers, and brokers who buy and sell prints after a piece is sold-out by the publisher.
• Secondary Market Price. A "secondary market price" is the reported price of a print when purchased on the secondary market. The pricing is set by supply and demand and can vary from source to source. This price you pay can go up and down depending on many variables, but the key factor is the availability of the artwork in the marketplace. Another factor effecting secondary market price is the broker's ability to locate artwork at really good secondary market wholesale prices and the broker's willingness to sell it to you with minimal mark-up.
• Auction Records. Auction records are often reviewed by individuals who buy, sell, or collect (usually, original) art. The auction records will provide documented information about actual sales at auctions of original artwork. If you research the auction records for a particular artist, you can get an idea of what the value is of an artist's work you may be considering.

When you buy artwork from All Artbrokers that is still Issue you can usually expect to pay less than issue price. How much less depends on the actual retail price, publisher policies, and availability from other sources, but generally you will save between 10-35% off the retail prices you would see in a gallery. If a publisher requires that we do not sell their artwork for less than their published retail prices, we honor that 100% of the time and will charge you retail prices per their policy. When you buy artwork from All Artbrokers that is sold-out from the publisher and we locate it on the secondary market you can expect to pay a price that will be below the average secondary market price. How much lower depends on what we pay for the artwork. We are very motivated to sell you the fine art that you want to buy at a price that is comfortable to you. We will always tell you our mark-up. That's right, we will always tell you our mark-up. And, since we are out of Oregon, there is never any Sales Tax on anything ever.

Competent, professional, and courteous service; lower prices; and no sales tax means you will like doing business with us!
