[Recommendations] is this an actual purchase or is someone being not truthful?
So I got this email today and at first it sounded genuine but now I’m having uneasy feelings about it and I’ll copy and paste below:
Thank you for your previous messages.
I wanted to let you know that three specific artworks in your collection really resonated with me they’re beautiful and have a strong emotional impact.
That said, I’d prefer to acquire them in digital formats rather than the physical works. Would that be possible? If so,
The artworks I’m particularly interested in, I’ll attach them to this mail
If these pieces are available, I would prefer to obtain the original works as digital collectibles (NFT format). They will be showcased within the exhibition and placed in a collector-oriented marketplace where interested bidders can acquire them.
In line with standard marketplace practice, you will receive 10% royalty commission from each resale of your artworks, automatically credited to your account whenever a transaction occurs.
For this acquisition, I’m offering 5 ETH (approximately $8,200) per artwork, which is the best budget allocation I can provide for this new project. I hope this offer is acceptable.
About the price and why it’s structured this way:
The offer I made reflects current market values for similar emerging artists’ digital works in NFT spaces factoring in uniqueness, your style, and exhibition exposure. Digital pieces often price differently from physical ones because there’s no production/shipping cost, but they gain value through global accessibility, royalties, and collector demand on platforms like this.
If you’re comfortable proceeding, please let me know and I will walk you through the next steps so we can finalize the transaction smoothly.
