davidcyclebackBuy from members who are in good standing. One reason people buy from dealers who belong to other associations, is because the dealers have been accepted and agreed to the rules. As someone interested in fine art prints, I recommend beginning collectors to buy from dealers who belong to well known dealer associations, as there are ethics and other rules these dealers have agreed to follow and the dealers have been approved as reputable and knowledgeable by the association. The membership lists often serve as a directory of who to buy from. To reputable dealers, being a member is a badge of honor that only helps sales.
