Used art prints in Whitby 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 Whitby
Whitby is a lakeside commuter town with a preserved nineteenth-century main street and a harbour, sitting between two larger neighbours in the eastern part of the region. It has grown steadily rather than in a boom, so the housing stock spans a wide range of ages.
Families moving up the housing ladder within the region drive most of the supply, so furniture and children’s equipment change hands locally and repeatedly rather than being sold outside it.
The commuter rail station and the harbour are the two landmarks everyone knows. Driving is easy and parking is not a constraint, so anything large is straightforward to arrange.
Whitby, in Ontario, has around 140,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Whitby
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
- 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
- Check the margins are untrimmed
- 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
Steady year round to a collector audience, with a lift in autumn. Named artists sell quickly when correctly identified; decorative prints compete on subject and framing.
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.
