Used art prints in Fresno typically sell for $13 to $160. The whole value of a print is in what kind of print it is, and the most damaging mistake a seller can make is describing a reproduction in words that imply an original.
Selling art prints in Fresno
Fresno sits at the centre of one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world, and the economy around it is practical rather than fashionable. Tools, trailers and workshop equipment sell here; luxury goods largely do not.
Agricultural work is seasonal and so is the household movement attached to it. Equipment tends to appear at the end of a season rather than steadily through the year.
The city is flat and easy to drive with generous parking, so heavy and awkward items are straightforward. Summers are extremely hot and most people arrange collection outside the middle of the day.
Fresno, in California, has around 545,000 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. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Fresno
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
What art prints are worth
What lifts the price
- Small edition sizes
- Unfaded colour with clean margins
What pulls it down
- Sun fading, which is irreversible
- Trimmed margins, which ruin an edition print
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
- A magnified area of the image showing the print texture
Put in the description
- Artist and title, and the year if known
- Sheet and image dimensions, and whether it is framed or mounted
Artist, title, process and edition: “Signed Lithograph, [Artist], Edition 24/150, 1978”. Say screenprint, lithograph, etching or giclée reproduction — the process is most of the value. Never use the word original for something printed in an edition of thousands.
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.
