COMMISSION, MARK-UP

Arthur Millner: The most normal way is simply for me to charge a small percentage for going in there and bidding on their behalf. There is always an element of risk and that’s one of the reasons why the idea is to sell at quite a large mark-up, which sometimes shocks people who don’t understand the art market. Because for everything you sell and make quite a large percentage on, there are also a large number of things which remain unsold after maybe several years and you perhaps after all that time end up selling them at a considerable loss. commission - provize mark-up - rozdíl mezi cenou, kterou obchodník za zboží zaplatí, a cenou, za kterou ho prodá. Tento rozdíl může být obrovský, protože obchodování s uměním sebou přináší riziko. Laika může tento rozdíl šokovat, ale na všechno, co se prodá s vysokou přirážkou, připadá spousta předmětů, které se řadu let neprodají
