Consultation example | Tokyo

【Case · Art climbing】
Consumer A was told that in the evening of January 2010, in front of the station in Akihabara station, a woman in his twenties said, "Why do not you go looking at the picture for a while", "Because the place is just around the corner" Afterwards, I was taken to the lady and went to the venue.
When I finished watching a picture, A was about to leave, the employee asked, "What picture was good?" A pointed appropriately to nearby paintings, urging them to sit in the chair, "I rarely choose those who choose that picture." After that, I gave an explanation about the work and the career of the author, etc. I repeatedly enthusiastically suggested that this picture is "not too much".
At first, A was not able to buy it because the picture was with a high price tag. After that, the employee said "I will negotiate", and once I left the seat and came back, the price of the picture dropped 200,000 yen. Still, A refused, "There is no money and it is impossible."
After that, I came back with another person and further lowered the price. When A hesitates without replying, he explained "How about turning the money used for hobbies?" Employees kept talking and keeping pace and wanted to go home, so time went by. A was hungry, exhausted, I also wanted to go home, eventually I could not refuse, I decided to buy it.
By the time I got home, it was about time to close the venue, so it was late at night that I got home.

【Case · Rin Atelier】
Consumer B went to Akihabara station on the evening of January 2010, and a woman in his 30's got a ticket from about the late 20's on the street on the front of the electric town mouth. B received and tried to leave, but since the woman did not give the ticket quickly, it stopped.
The woman talked to "Would you like to see a picture" or "Would you like to see a picture with a gallery?" As B did not have a story to sell pictures, I thought that it was only appreciation, and went to the venue.
When I entered the venue and finished watching the picture all the time, the employee asked, "Which of the pictures I saw was the most interesting?" When B answered, he began to explain in front of the picture. The employee explained the author of the picture and the method of making the picture. "It is hard to make the original plate, once you make it, it is difficult to reprint, so it's not quite a lot of circulation" "I was talking about art-related work to choose this picture" and so on.
B declined that this picture is too expensive because it is expensive, the employee talks "How much can you pay each month?" And talking "Is it not cheap if 10,000 yen per month is cut off?" It was. B told me to repeatedly explain, saying, "It's even 10,000 yen high."
Still, because the employee explained it enthusiastically, it became a feeling of buying. It was near midnight, so I was surprised again that it was such a time. Eventually, I decided to buy, wrote a contract etc.
It was time I went back to midnight when I came home.

【Case · Aoi art】
Consumer C was told at around noon in May 2010, in front of the store in Ginza, "I am exhibiting in the gallery." A woman in her early twenties urged her to enter the store. Since the woman was desperate, I entered a store thinking that I would only see the picture.
As C was planning to come out soon, while listening to the employee's explanation, after seeing the picture, trying to head to the exit, the employee said, "If you decorate the house, which one is better?" Did you like it? " When C pointed to a nearby picture, I removed the picture and changed it to the corner of the gallery. I brought a chair and asked, "I'd like to sit down and see the best," prompting me to sit down and explaining the author. While talking appropriately, the story continued. After that, another person took over and told.
The explanation has been continued for a long time, and C went on and on and on and on and on. After that, I said, 'I will buy as much as you can,' C declined that it would be a problem if advised.
The last one was to feel persuaded by two people, so C told me that I got tired and would buy it. I did not eat lunch, and I was in a state where I could not return home in a narrow place, so it was extremely exhausted when I got home.

Incidentally, "paintings" sold by these vendors are expensive for several hundred thousand yen of selling price, but the purchase price by buyers is very low to be replicated prints etc., and the actual trial However, attention should also be paid to the fact that there are cases where it is judged that "it is an unfair selling price".

Paintings Commercial Law | Katsumi Fujimori Law Firm

"(This painting is a duplicated print produced by the appellant Earl Brian Co., Ltd. as an illustration of acrylic painting, and the purchase price by the purchaser is 5,000 yen to 12,000 yen, and the selling price by these traders is purchased Even if it is higher than the price, there is a limit, and it can hardly be said that the value of this printmaking is highly appreciated. "
"It can be said that the selling price is significantly higher than the market price in light of the fact that this printmaking is a duplicated print which is different from the original print involving the painter in production and the purchase price of the above-mentioned purchaser, etc."

Most shops were closed, and in Osaka's electric shop district - Nihonbashi, which had a feeling that the painting business law was abolished a while ago, on behalf of the painting commercial lawThe store that sells clothes now increases its presenceWill it be a turning point for Akihabara 's painting commercial law in this administrative punishment?
