Alternative Price Offers

What is an Alternative Price Offer?

An Alternative Price Offer is a unique opportunity for artists and buyers to negotiate the price of an artwork. This feature allows buyers to propose a different price than the one listed, giving both parties the chance to agree on a value that reflects the artwork's worth and the buyer's budget.

How does an Alternative Price Offer work?

  • Buyer's Proposal: A buyer can submit an alternative price offer for an artwork directly through the platform.
  • Artist Notification: The artist receives a notification of the proposed offer and can choose to accept, decline, or negotiate further.
  • Negotiation Process: If the artist wishes to negotiate, they can counteroffer, initiating a dialogue between the artist and the buyer to reach a mutually satisfactory price.
  • Final Agreement: Once both parties agree on a price, the buyer proceeds with the purchase at the negotiated rate.

Why should I consider an Alternative Price Offer?

  • Flexibility: It provides flexibility in pricing, making artworks accessible to a broader audience.
  • Direct Engagement: Artists and buyers engage directly, building a more personal connection.
  • Increased Sales Potential: It opens up the possibility of selling artworks that might otherwise remain unsold due to price constraints.

How do I respond to an Alternative Price Offer?

Upon receiving an alternative price offer, log in to your Jose Art Gallery account, review the offer details, and decide whether to accept, negotiate, or decline. We recommend considering the offer carefully, keeping in mind your artwork's value and the potential for a successful sale.

Artists can view their offers in the "Offers" section under "Current Offers" in their personal artist account.

Can I refuse an Alternative Price Offer?

Yes, artists have the full right to refuse an alternative price offer if it does not meet their expectations. There is no obligation to accept an offer that undervalues your artwork.
