Selling art prints in Memphis
Memphis is a logistics city with a music history that still shapes what people collect. Records and instruments have a real local audience, and the freight economy means tools and equipment move steadily.
Logistics employment turns households over steadily, and the city’s affordability means more people own than rent in the outer neighbourhoods, so what appears there is usually a real clear-out rather than a move.
The city is easy to drive and parking is rarely a problem, which makes furniture and equipment collection straightforward. Most people arrange to meet somewhere central rather than travelling out to a suburb.
Memphis, in Tennessee, has around 635,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Memphis
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
What art prints are worth
What lifts the price
- Small edition sizes
- Unfaded colour with clean margins
What pulls it down
- Open-edition posters sold as limited prints
- Foxing and damp staining on paper
Working out what yours is worth
- Look for a pencil signature and edition number in the margin
- Photograph any gallery label on the reverse
Getting it ready
- Look at the print under magnification. Regular dot patterns mean a mechanical reproduction; continuous ink or plate texture suggests an original process.
- Check for a pencil signature and an edition number in the margin, and note whether the signature is in the plate rather than added by hand.
Photograph
- The whole print flat and square on, entire sheet including margins
- The reverse, plus any foxing, tape, tear or trimmed edge
Put in the description
- Artist and title, and the year if known
- Whether the signature is hand-applied in pencil or printed in the plate
Post flat between stiff boards, never rolled unless it arrived rolled. Framed prints are far riskier — glass and post are a poor combination, so consider selling the frame separately or locally.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
