No advisor in the middle, no auction premium, no commission on the sale.
Bypart is the direct line between collectors and the people who actually own the work. You see the work. You unlock the contact. You speak to the seller. The market, compressed to two people and the thing they're buying and selling.
There is no anonymous browsing. Every member is verified by phone. Every interaction is between two named, identifiable people who chose to be there.
Every listing leads with the artwork. Title, artist, medium, dimensions, condition, price bucket. Seller identity stays private until you decide it shouldn't.
One Connect credit reveals the seller's identity and the exact asking price. The seller knows a serious collector has unlocked the work and is about to make contact.
You and the seller talk inside Bypart. We are not in the middle of the conversation, the negotiation, or the sale. What you agree, you agree between yourselves.
The advisor who marks up the price before passing it on. The dealer who takes a margin from both sides of the same trade. The auction premium of twenty-five percent above hammer. The gallery commission on a private sale that the artist never sees in full. The fees stacked on top of fees, layer by layer, until the work reaches the person who will live with it.
We replace none of this with a fee of our own. Bypart charges a monthly subscription and nothing else. No commission. No transaction fee. No percentage of what you negotiate.
Collectors who want to know what they are paying and to whom.
Artists with work they would rather sell to the people who will live with it than lose to the layers above them.
Private dealers who want a clean channel to verified collectors without the public listing risk of a website.
Galleries who want to reach collectors outside their existing rolodex on their own terms.
This is a serious tool for serious participants in the art market.
