I agree that some pieces sell when they are ready to leave for the right home-It's happened to me, too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306328435488117723.post-10631232100288551602010-05-06T06:45:40.234-07:002010-05-06T06:45:40.234-07:00Hi Annie,
This is a very interesting topic. Alth...Hi Annie,<br /><br />This is a very interesting topic. Although I have sold very few paintings, I do agree with the "don't negotiate" rule. I also think the venue has much to do with the prices. My work has never been in a gallery, but I watch what other artists do over the different venues they sell in. There are so many variables and it's interesting to watch. Another thing that seems to come into play is how well the artist's work is known. I am pretty sure that when I get my Etsy or ArtFire store up and running, my prices will have to be that of a newcomer. I'd love to think otherwise, but we all have to start somewhere, right?<br /><br />I'll be watching the comments you get, for more good advice.

For me it is also a gut reaction based on my feelings about the work and my willingness to wait for the right buyer.<br /><br />For instance I just sold a wonderful piece I had made a few years ago. I had not changed the price--I knew it would find a home. And indeed the right person saw it last week-end and bought it without hesitation.<br /><br />And yes, I have been known to raise my prices sometimes. That being said I do try to keep prices for similar items consistent so I don't confuse myself.<br /><br />I may follow through with a separate post on my blog--interesting topic.Ann Brauerhttp://annbrauer.blospot.com/noreply@blogger.com
