I could not find the right newsgroup to post this but
I thought this was the closest...
Apologies to those irritated...
I just started to go to galleries and antique shops
to look for oil paintings to
decorate my house. I heard the galleries mark up
the price quite heavily (200 - 300 %)
and am wondering how much I can negotiate the price down...
Please respond via email or post

Considering that the average markup for a sweater or pair of pants is
at least 100%, and the cost of space, staff, and expertise, I don't find
that markup outrageous. However, I am myself a cheapskate, and acquire
art slowly at estate sales and general auctions. What you are paying for
at the gallery is time. They have done the finding for you, and you pay
them for that. If you want to decorate quickly, you pay a premium. If
you enjoy the effect of a slowly emerging home decoration, you can wait
to fall in love with a painting and pay less.

The markup of an antique or price is of no value to you. If you want
it, you pay the asking price or you start to decorate from wal mart.
