Liquidate, Refine, Reimagine: Monetizing Your Art & Antiques with 32 Reales
Life circumstances change, sometimes necessitating unlocking the value of our art and antiques. Whether for financial stability, investment diversification, or other reasons, selling provides access to capital. As collectors, our tastes evolve over time. Selling pieces no longer aligned with you allows for a more coherent and meaningful collection. It's an opportunity to refine your aesthetic and focus on what truly captivates you. Additionally, art and antiques take up physical space. Falling in love with a new acquisition may require making room by parting with pieces lacking the same allure. Perhaps you're downsizing, moving, or simply seeking change. Whatever your motivation, selling art and antiques can be a liberating experience. At 32 Reales, we understand the complexities of parting with cherished pieces and are here to guide you through the process safely, reliably, and considering the unique challenges this entails. 32 Reales, we understand the complexities of parting with cherished pieces and are here to guide you through the process safely, reliably, and considering the unique challenges this entails.
Navigating the online art and antique market can be daunting. Opting to sell yourself can expose you to scammers. Online transactions also entail sharing personal data, raising security concerns. Selling your pieces with our gallery's support ensures privacy and confidentiality throughout the process.
Conversely, for those with the option to auction, it's important to consider that these processes can entail waiting months, even years, for a sale, with fixed costs including transportation, cataloging, storage, accident insurance, and others. In the best-case scenario, these costs diminish your profits, and failing to sell incurs expenses at the worst time.
At 32 Reales, we offer two secure alternatives tailored to your needs:
Direct Sale:
Bid farewell to hefty upfront fees and waiting periods. Submit your piece through our online form with your desired price. If the item aligns with our gallery and the price is right, we can coordinate a direct purchase and schedule your payment within days of receiving the lot.
Pros: Quick sale and immediate payment (within days).
Cons: Lower payout compared to consignment, as we need to ensure the potential of our investment.
Consignment Sale:
Present your lot through our online form, setting your preferred price. If accepted, we actively promote your piece to our portfolio of over 4,000 clients worldwide. In this mode, you retain possession of your item until a sale is confirmed. Our gallery acts as an intermediary and custodial agent, receiving payment from the buyer, managing shipping, and making payment to the seller once the buyer receives and is satisfied with the lot. Shipping costs are borne by the buyer, and the service incurs a commission charged to the seller only upon sale.
Pros: Potentially higher payout due to your set price. You can continue to enjoy your piece if desired.
Cons: May take longer to sell.
Choosing the Right Path:
The best option depends on your individual priorities. If speed and immediate access to funds are paramount, Direct Sale is ideal. To maximize your potential payout, Consignment Sale offers flexibility and the potential for a better offer. Ultimately, our experienced team will guide you toward the option that best suits your needs.
At 32 Reales, we're passionate about art and antiques and value your trust. Therefore, we offer:
Expertise: Our team possesses extensive knowledge of the art and antique market, ensuring precise valuations and optimal sales strategies.
Transparency: We communicate clearly and openly throughout the process, keeping you informed at every step.
Security: We prioritize the security of your items and personal information.
