Today, Nerd Crawler–the easiest way for artists and collectors to auction original comic art directly to collectors–announced the launch of “Make Me An Offer”, revolutionizing the buying and selling experience for its thousands of comic art fans, artists, and collectors.
Building on their proprietary original comic art technology platform, Nerd Crawler has added a completely new experience for collectors and artists to create an open invitation for interested buyers to submit offers for their original art and one-of-a-kind pieces.
- An Open Invitation with Just a Click: By checking the new “Allow Offers” checkbox when you upload or editing pieces, sellers can activate "Make Me an Offer" for their original comic art.
- Set Your Minimum Offer: Sellers can set a minimum offer price to preemptively filter out lowball attempts and maintain value control.
- Buyers Easily Submit Offers: For pieces that are accepting offers, interested buyers can click “Make Me an Offer” to submit their offer. Buyers can also add a message to the Seller sharing any additional details, asks, or whether they’re open to a counter offer from the Seller.
- One-Click Accept and Reject for Sellers: When an offer comes in, Nerd Crawler will send an email and an in-app notification to the Seller who can easily accept or reject with just a single click – no more painful back and forth trying to let a buyer down delicately.
- Secure the Deal: Once an offer is accepted, the buyer has 24 hours to deposit funds into Escrow with Nerd Crawler using their preferred payment method, including US bank deposit, credit card, PayPal, or Klarna’s easy Buy-Now-Pay-Later program.
To celebrate the launch and showcase the potential of "Make Me an Offer," a few of Nerd Crawler’s community members have shared incredible pieces each with “Make Me An Offer” enabled, inviting collectors to submit their best bids. A few highlights include:
2) A gorgeous Jim Lee Joker sketch cover in pencil and inks. $4,750 minimum offer
3) A brooding Batman sketch by Jock, measuring 9x12 inches. $1,250 minimum offer
“Because my remarqued and graded copy of TMNT #1 is such a unique piece, I would never put it up for auction in fear of not capturing the full value of the piece,” said Mike Snitzer–founder of Original.Art, Inc. and Nerd Crawler member. “But, with ‘Make Me An Offer’, Nerd Crawler has made it super easy for me to receive offers and decide when the offer and time is right for me to sell.”
“Launching ‘Make Me an Offer’ continues the mission of making Nerd Crawler the best, easiest place to buy and sell original comic art,” said Chris Tung–founder of Nerd Crawler. “Now with Auctions, ‘Make Me an Offer’, and fixed price selling, Nerd Crawler offers the most flexibility for artists and comic art fans to sell their art while provindg a marketplace that doesn’t have any buyer premiums and an Escrow service with lowest seller fees around.”
To view all pieces that are accepting offers, use the new “Make Me an Offer” filter on Nerd Crawler’s original art search engine that has over 65,000 pieces of original artwork to search and growing.
