Auctions work by taking food off both sides of the table: firstly a commission off the seller: to sell, you’ll pay 15% of the hammer price sometimes plus marketing, cataloguing, shipping, insurance and storage fees which you can have waived for higher value works; and to buy, you’ll pay 25% of the hammer price plus VAT on that Buyers Premium. If the artwork sells for well over the high estimate you could also be subject to a 1-2% performance commission.
Because our business at MyArtBroker is leaner, we can offer 0% seller’s fee, guaranteed, with no hidden extras. You agree the price you'd like to return and we either promise to sell it and return that or not in which case we won't take on the consignment.
Having amassed an extraordinary community of buyers and sellers in the print market over 20 years, it’s not difficult for us to find the right buyer for a work, supported by digital innovation, unlike our competitors.
