Used art prints in Toronto typically sell for C$19 to C$225 (about $13 to $160). Print value turns on whether it is a limited edition with a signature and number, or an open-edition poster.
Selling art prints in Toronto
Toronto is Canada’s largest city and its most expensive, and the condo boom of the last two decades means an enormous share of the population lives in a small apartment. Furniture sized for a condo moves quickly here; anything built for a house does not.
Rental turnover is high and newcomers to Canada arrive here in greater numbers than anywhere else, so households are constantly being furnished from scratch and cleared out again. Supply is steady rather than seasonal.
Most small handovers happen near a subway or GO station because driving downtown and finding anywhere to stop is genuinely difficult. For condo collections, the building will usually require the service lift to be booked in advance.
Toronto, in Ontario, has around 2.8 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Ottawa, Brampton and Hamilton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Toronto
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

What art prints are worth
What lifts the price
- Original gallery labels and certificates
- Unfaded colour with clean margins
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 the margins and the reverse for foxing, tape residue, trimming or light staining.
Photograph
- The pencil signature and edition number, close and legible
- A magnified area of the image showing the print texture
Put in the description
- Print process, and edition number if there is one
- 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.

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. Most small handovers happen near a subway or GO station because driving downtown and finding anywhere to stop is genuinely difficult. For condo collections, the building will usually require the service lift to be booked in advance.
Is it foxed?
