Literally hundreds of works of art have sold through Private Placement and we have only encountered one sale where the work of art was returned for a spot on the upper edge of the art. When it comes to condition, honesty is the best policy. Complete refunds are issued if a work of art does not pass inspection. ArtQuest is a service that puts people directly in touch with each other and is not liable or responsible for buying, selling, appraising, authenticating or inspecting art. ArtQuest simply communicates back and forth between the parties via email, fax, phone or whatever method works for each party.
All information is sent anonymously until serious interest is shown.
Upon receipt of payment at ArtQuest, both parties are then introduced. The payment is held in our account until the art is received and inspected. Shipping and insurance is paid by the member shipping the art unless both parties have planned otherwise. Upon receipt, the interested party has 2-3 days to inspect the work and notify ArtQuest that the work of art is accepted. Upon acceptance, ArtQuest will release the funds to the member less the placement fee.
