recommend you contact a reputable art dealer and/or art appraiser
willing to do appraisals (these are generally
fee for service) of art work you may want vetted/authenticated prior to
making any trade. If you choose to make a sale without any third
party authentication, you are solely responsible for resolving any
dispute that may arise if an item does not meet your expectations or

not ship or insure anything ever; we are not a gallery or auction

trades as sales and
you may be responsible for state taxes. You are solely responsible to
check your local states tax statutes, and
if you are unsure if you owe any tax, we advise you check with an
accountant. Never assume just
because you are selling or trading out by the internet that you don't have tax obligations. Ignorance
of the law is no excuse for not paying due taxes. We are not liable for
any fees, costs or penalties that are associated with any trades or
transactions you make.
