Edgeart comes second

BEST ONLINE ART SELLER, by Heavyconsumer on Mar 22, 2008 17:49:31 GMT 1, My limited experience of Red Propeller has also been excellent (they even divert their calls to private numbers on Good Friday!). I could say very similar of TLSG, Stella Dore, Copro Nason and others. This is one of the very few industries where I believe that most suppliers try to be as helpful and pleasant as possible. This, for me, is one of the little quirks that has made collecting even more enjoyable than it is purely for it's own sake and buying as addictive as it is. Great service should be the norm' and there is never any need to repeat purchase from pooheads, with so many great vendors out there.

it also shows fakes, non payers, misrepresentation and you have to pay for the service - nah i dont agree, Ebay is the worst kind of gallery

BEST ONLINE ART SELLER, by Heavyconsumer on Mar 22, 2008 19:02:53 GMT 1, I'm an ebay hater too. Doesn't do it for me, premiums whacked on everything due to fees, items not accurately described, greedy sellers who are prepared to lie for an extra few quid and very difficult if and when anything goes wrong at all. At least with professionals they tend to be experienced and able to predict and avoid most unpleasantness and react fairly in most cases where something does crop up ie: damage in transport, non-delivery, issues with individual payment processors etc... It's not right to reference things like non-payers here though, as the thread is not about us selling but buying art. Not to mention product integrity (fakes).

BEST ONLINE ART SELLER, by scavos on Mar 22, 2008 20:09:47 GMT 1, This is a tough one because the standards are generally so high, RP, BRP, Art-El, Tunnadine etc. (Leigh Tunnadine is superb and really knows her stuff). There are a few online galleries that have a lot of improving to do too. My opinion hasn't changed since the Urban Art Awards - Frankie at Camp Barbarossa takes some beating when it comes to customer service. He really does give a shit about what he does. And that counts. I'm looking forward to seeing what Edge Art are like when they launch on 5th May.

I am actually going to add to my vote and say POW, I think for all the demands that people make on them, they still get on with it, they are only bad, when people cannot get the print they want, and they have been the pioneers of the urban art scene, and you have to take your hat off to them, as they are always ahead of the rest of the galleries.

Frankie is far more than a reseller. He's a primary seller of many artists prints including cyclops and herakut and is prepared to take chances on artists not many have heard of - like Labrona. He's also a very nice bloke and a gooner to boot ;D

BEST ONLINE ART SELLER, by Heavyconsumer on Mar 22, 2008 21:57:53 GMT 1, I can't believe Frankie's a gooner. I'm gutted. Thought he was such a top bloke until I heard that. Still, I'll try to be impartial when I buy something he has on offer (especially if it's exclusive!). Sounds like his customers are all extremely satisfied. And even though I haven't bought from him yet, I'd like to echo Pezlow's point, that Frankie is not "just a reseller" he has some great prints at the same prices as TLSG and other outlets in many cases. No-one is forced to hand over money or click buy if they don't feel a deal is fair. Plus, from my interaction with him on here, he seems the sort of bloke who'd be quite prepared to negotiate if approached.

I have to say Baurmann Gallery as I thought I missed the Mear One print 'David and Goliath', but due to their help and a bit of luck, I managed to get one. Great customer service.

Oh, and Limited Addiction is great as well - Dave is top notch at customer service and building personal and personable relationships
