Used art prints in Edmonton typically sell for C$19 to C$225 (about $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 Edmonton
Edmonton has some of the coldest winters of any major North American city and an economy built on energy and services. Serious winter clothing is a necessity rather than a seasonal purchase, and indoor hobbies and equipment have a correspondingly deep market.
Energy employment drives the larger cycle and the university adds an academic one. Anything for the outdoors moves in a short, intense summer window and then vanishes for the rest of the year.
Driving is easy and parking is plentiful, so collection is simple whenever the weather allows. For several months a year it does not, and both sides are usually glad of a garage or an underground car park.
Edmonton, in Alberta, has around 1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Calgary, Red Deer and Lethbridge are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Edmonton
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.

What art prints are worth
What lifts the price
- Signed and numbered limited editions
- Original gallery labels and certificates
What pulls it down
- Sun fading, which is irreversible
- 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
- A magnified area of the image showing the print texture
- The reverse, plus any foxing, tape, tear or trimmed edge
Put in the description
- Sheet and image dimensions, and whether it is framed or mounted
- Whether the signature is hand-applied in pencil or printed in the plate
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.
