Selling art prints in Charlotte
Charlotte is a banking centre that has grown quickly on in-migration from the northeast and midwest. Arriving households furnish quickly and departing ones sell up, which keeps furniture and home office equipment moving steadily.
Corporate relocations drive most of the turnover, and people moving from a larger house into a newer, smaller one routinely sell the furniture that no longer fits rather than pay to move it.
The city is spread out and collection is by car, with easy parking outside the immediate centre. Traffic on the main radial routes at rush hour is the only real constraint on timing.
Charlotte, in North Carolina, has around 875,000 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. Raleigh, Greensboro and Durham are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Charlotte
Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.
What art prints are worth
What lifts the price
- Signed and numbered limited editions
- Small edition sizes
What pulls it down
- Trimmed margins, which ruin an edition print
- Foxing and damp staining on paper
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
- The whole print flat and square on, entire sheet including margins
- The pencil signature and edition number, close and legible
Put in the description
- Artist and title, and the year if known
- Print process, and edition number if there is one
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.
