The Chinese and Asian Art Forum. For Fans, Collectors and Dealers.
Basic Rules For the BidAmount Asian Art Forum: Talk about whatever you want. You can even discuss and offer things that are for sale if they are authentic. Maximum image file size per post is 2 MB. Images of 700pxl x 700pxl are optimal if saved at a medium resolution. Be respectful of others and enjoy yourself. Click the YouTube link for a brief tutorial on using the forum. You can also EMBED Videos by cutting and pasting from You-Tube, Vimeo etc.
NOTE: To post an item or add a new post, click open the category title from the FORUM LIST, and CLICK the Blue ADD TOPIC button.
As I see it the URL is for Bidamount live and is given to you when you register.
What keeps me from registering is that I don’t want my name, adress and phone number displayed for everyone to read. Since I’m not a professional seller I would prefer some Ebay-like privacy.

@shinigami Hi Birgit i understand youre concerne about the private data visibel to anyone ,thats a no go, private sellers and Prof.Dealers have to be treated diffrent.
Good poin ,I did not realize it yet because i signed up customer only .
Just tell Peter about youre concerns .
Dear Birgit, that is another point that I was going to say in my previous post but forgot to do.
It is clear that the buyer will know your address, but not everyone! That is a not good point, agree with you.
Regards,
Giovanni
Hi Martin, I have also only signed in as a customer yet. I don‘t want to sell anything just now, so I’ll just wait until someone else did and could talk about his/her experience. But generally I see a security problem in publicly disclosing the location of a private collection even if it’s only a modest one.
Birgit
@shinigami I agree I wouldn’t feel safe letting world now where my loot is located. Thanks guys I was going to list something soon.
I didn't like that either, which is why I decided instead to register as a buyer - only it wouldn't let me do both. I also want to "hide" behind a more anonymous name as I do on eBay.
Hi,
If you want to negotiate a price and only pay a commission based on the actual selling price, just change the price on the listing before accepting the offer and it will reset automatically to the new price.

Hello,
Outside of selling modern reproductions, you can what you wish as long as it is accurately described and dated in some reasonable fashion, i.e. "Qing Dynasty:, "19th C.", "Qianlong period", "Meiji Period" etc. We will not permit the sale of modern Copies for any reason as there are so many other sites available for those types of items. "Republic Period" examples MUST actually be Republic, and not modern examples being sold as Republic as they are generally very easily spotted and will be taken down.
The site is for Antiques and legitly described items.

If you're a PRIVATE seller, you can simply put the word "Private" on any line you wish not to make public. You do need to include your actual State and Country, however. Then just your phone number and email address so you can handle questions.

@plcombs Dear Peter, I'm giving it some thought, but some of my clients since they resell, like having completely confidential selling prices. I've got no problem with paying a commission to Bidamount for the actual selling price, but has any consideration been given to listings being able to put 'upon request' as a price option?
On eBay, I can put a high asking price, but accept any reasonable offer, and to my knowledge, the actual price remains private.
Hi Peter,
Thanks for replying. I did send a message through on the contact form but maybe it didn't arrive? I will try joining, again.
Julia
I do not know why but I am not able to register as a vendor. Everything seems correct in the registration window but I am not allowed to finish the registration. I have written to Peter but I had no answer.
So I don’t know what to do because there is no way top know what it is wrong.
The only strange note is about the password. I have typed a password longer than 12 characters, with capital and lower letters, numbers and special characters, but it still say that it is a weak word. Is it perhaps because of that?
Another thing that I think not good is the fact that the name of the vendor do not appear in the listing, it must be inquired. Not everybody will do that. In my opinion it is important if the name of the vendor will be displayed in the main window of the object.
Is it possible to insert pictures with the watermark?
Giovanni
I did try again and I was succesfull in registration. I suppose that it was the password, although now it has been accepted a simpler one.
The other questions remain.
Giovanni
(As always: apologies for a lengthier post - but meant to assist in offering a perspective).
First time browsing forum in a moment; but wanted to quickly log-on to echo what @greeno107 said for similar and (slightly) differing additional reasons.
I know it’s early on and the site will need to organically find its footing: but an inquiry based pricing mechanism would be beneficial due to the “nature” of some things regarding the double edge sword that is internet visibility & outreach for the market (and those within it).
There’s also those of us who sell in markets where prices vary upon specific client & destination; or just due to the current “gallery” climate of dealer networks who represent certain artists of highly collected or contemporary status - where visibly set prices can cause hesitancy to offer these publicly.
Conversely, these offerings can benefit platforms by attracting a wider demographic of both collectors & resellers (i.e. for me, I’d love to list a few Japanese Imperial Household artist that I don’t want circling on eBay; or a few National Living Treasures who I wouldn’t mind offering affordably to a passionate collector on a budget, and not get chewed out for “devaluing the market share” by another gallery).
I know market politics need to change; and I don’t like it any more than others who enjoy transparency/simplicity as a buyer - but things (for better or worse) are how they are for now, and with that comes an opportunity for all.
Of course, there would need to be a system of accountability for sellers to submit realized private price received to BidAmount (who I think we all agree deserves their rather modest share of commission) - yet I see this being a feature that could bring more traffic and variety to a promising new platform that I have nothing but praises for currently.
Just some thoughts..

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
