Also, "additional safety" is a bad assumption. You need to read the condition report and see the work in person if at all possible. You also don't know about the quality of framing, and getting detailed answers to any questions may not be possible. And I assume you saw the 60 minutes report about all the rich collectors suing Christies and Sothebys over the Wolfgang Beltracchi frauds?
For *some* forum purchases, you can get answers, references, COA, and history ahead of time, meet in person to inspect the work, and do your own framing. I did this a month ago with a mint banksy print and I felt more comfortable with the process than buying from an auction being held thousands of miles away!
no for the buyer! there is one morons sepia selling here with asking price of 5.4k! More than what I would pay with the additional safety from an art auction. It's not so black and white. The price the buyer had to pay was 5k. That person doesn't get the art until 5k of funds leaves their bank account. So while 5.4 is higher, it is not that crazy.
