The Fine Art Buyers Club
The Art Buyers Club is an exclusive, paid membership for buyers of fine art. At the discretion of ACXchange we accept qualified members into this art buying group from the United States and Europe.
Artwork and Collectibles are submitted to ACXchange, and with the sellers’ permission we offer these works to members of our Fine Art Buyers Club.
All Fine Art Buyers Club item descriptions appear on the site for up to two listing periods consisting of either 15 or 30 days each, during which time you’ll have the opportunity to bid.
Join The Fine Art Buyers Club
The Fine Art Buyers Club is a select membership-based group of people interested in purchasing Fine Art and Collectibles.
Our private and exclusive Fine Art Buyers Club seeks honest and ethical gallery owners, dealers of Fine Art and Collectibles, wholesalers, auction houses and individual art collectors who are active buyers of Fine Art & Collectibles (*membership fees apply).
Are you constantly sourcing leads for your gallery inventory? Seeking that ONE special piece for your upcoming auction? Want to add that special one- of-a-kind piece to your collection?
We cordially invite you to join our Fine Art Buyers Club (FABC), and to become a part of our expansion.
Benefits of Joining the Fine Art Buyers Club:
• Exclusive access to Fine Art & Collectibles not currently available elsewhere on the market
• Lower “buyer premiums” than auction houses
• A safe, secure art-buying process brokered by experienced professionals with over 20 years of expertise.
• Lower prices than retail or galleries.
• Depending on your level of membership (see details below), your personalized profile allows us to alert you when items that might interest you become available. You will have the option to purchase either the item itself, or else the exclusive rights to the ‘lead’ for the item on a first-come, first-serve basis.*
• Everyone is looking for sourced leads. At ACXchange, we have them!
º *A purchasable ‘lead’ is a listing for an item that the ACXchange Fine Art Investment Group has passed on, usually because it’s a work outside the current genres we deal in. To view and purchase these leads, you must first become a member of the FABC; then simply visit our site and log on using your personalized Fine Art Buyers Club member login to purchase any lead for $30 or $40.
º ACXchange staff members verify all leads by calling them to ensure that the number provided to us is valid and the item described in the listing is actually for sale. Only verified leads are put into the lead share program.
º There are NO REFUNDS on leads purchased through the lead share program, nor are there any guarantees that a lead will result in you making a purchase or reaching a price agreement with the seller. Leads are made available on a first-come, first-serve basis and are only sold once.

We charge Fine Art Buyers Club (FABC) members a premium between 7.5% – 10% (depending on membership enrollment level) to complete the sale. Premium is added to sale price.
Level 1 – 10% premium
Level 2 and 3 – 7.5% premium
Once a sale is complete the FABC member sends ACXchange the agreed-upon sale price money plus the broker’s premium, and the seller sends ACXchange the purchased work. Once the work is received by ACXchange, we send the work to the FABC member. You, the buyer’s club member, get 7 business days to verify authenticity and condition of the work. If after evaluation, there are any condition issues that were not as described to you, then you can return the piece. Returns are ONLY accepted for not-as-described condition issues or an authenticity issue.
The Seller will receive the purchase price minus brokerage fee, shipping and insurance costs. Once the FABC member receives the work and is completely satisfied ACXchange then pays the seller their proceeds. Sellers guarantee Authenticity of sold works for life, offering our FABC member 100% money back warranties. Warranty is not transferred to the new owner only to the FABC member. ACXchange makes no warranties or guarantees as it relates to authenticity and is held harmless by both the FABC Member and the seller. ACXchange insures all works for the period of time that the work is on their premise. It is the responsibility of both the FABC member and the seller to fully insure (at SALE PRICE) all work while in transit either to or from ACXchange. Each side pays for their insurance (all works sold MUST be insured for full sale price) and the packing/shipping to and/or from ACXchange.
