Did you know?

Paintings have “various selling methods”
don’t they?

At Nihonbashi Art.jp,
we tailor
purchase methods to the seller’s preferences.

Cash Purchase01

Galleries or purchase companies assess on the spot, and if you agree with the amount, it can be cashed out immediately, making it a recommended selling method for those who want to convert to cash quickly.

The lack of sales fees, the ability to decide to sell after hearing the assessment, and the option to negotiate the price are some of the advantages. However, note that the purchase price may be lower than the market rate compared to other selling methods, and depending on the artwork’s fame or condition, it might be rejected. Choosing the wrong company can make it hard to achieve a satisfactory sale, and finding a knowledgeable company on your own can raise the selling hurdle. At Nihonbashi Art.jp, we conduct cash purchases using the expertise of a trusted network of selected galleries and companies, ensuring hassle-free and secure transactions.

Auction02


recommended for those who want a balance between selling speed and price.

There are two methods: “Internet auctions” and “entrusting to a specialized painting auction company,” with the biggest shared advantage being the potential to sell above market value. Internet auctions stand out for their low entry barrier, allowing easy listing even for lesser-known works. However, preparing photos and descriptions can be time-consuming, and since amateurs judge, issues may arise. On the other hand, using a specialized auction company provides thorough support like catalog creation and market research for estimated bids, ensuring secure transactions. At Nihonbashi Art.jp, we propose and support auction methods suited to your artwork, so please consult us once.

Consignment Sale03

A selling method where galleries or specialized sites like Nihonbashi Art.jp display and sell your artwork for you.
You can decide the desired selling price through consultation, making it easy to sell at your ideal price, recommended for those who want to sell high.

When consigning to a gallery, if it’s an artist they handle, you can expect a higher purchase price. Entrusting listing and sale procedures to someone knowledgeable about art sales saves effort and e nsures peace of mind. However, you can’t cash out until a buyer is found, and there’s a chance it may take time, so it’s not ideal for those wanting quick cash. At Nihonbashi Art.jp, we assist with everything from selecting consignment galleries to handling transactions and selling via “Nihonbashi Art.jp ONLINE STORE,” making consignment sales easy.
