Offer guidelines
The rules both sides agree to — for artists opening a work to offers, and for collectors making them.

These guidelines exist so that neither side has to guess. They apply to every work on the platform without exception, and we do not make private arrangements that contradict them.
For artists: you may run one offer round per work. Set an opening offer, an optional minimum and a closing date between three and fourteen days out. Once a round opens, the minimum and the closing time cannot be raised — lowering a minimum mid-round is permitted, raising it is not.
A work open to offers cannot simultaneously be sold at a fixed price elsewhere on the platform. If you want to withdraw it, you may do so only before the first offer is placed.
Reopening a piece that previously went unsold is allowed, and carries a small relisting fee. This exists to discourage using offer rounds as free price discovery rather than as a genuine intention to sell.
For collectors: one account per person. Making offers on your own work, or arranging for someone else to raise the price for you, ends the account permanently and forfeits any pending sales. We do check.
Condition questions are welcome at any point before close, and answered by a person. If a condition report turns out to have been materially wrong, the sale is reversed at our cost, not yours.
Non-payment after an offer is accepted results in the work passing to the next-highest offer and the account being suspended. We would rather say this plainly than pretend it never happens.
