Used art prints in Denver 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 Denver
Denver is the gateway to serious mountain recreation and the second-hand market reflects it entirely. Ski and snowboard gear, camping equipment and bikes change hands constantly, and buyers here know exactly what a used set-up is worth.
Gear turns over on a seasonal cycle that is unusually sharp here: ski equipment floods the market in spring and disappears by November, and camping gear does the reverse. Timing a purchase against that is worth real money.
The grid layout and generous parking make collection easy, and most of the metro is reachable within half an hour outside rush hour. Altitude and dry air are worth mentioning for anything with seals or adhesives that has been stored a long time.
Denver, in Colorado, has around 715,000 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. Colorado Springs, Aurora and Fort Collins are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Denver
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
- Signed and numbered limited editions
- Original gallery labels and certificates
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
- 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.
- Check the margins and the reverse for foxing, tape residue, trimming or light staining.
Photograph
- The whole print flat and square on, entire sheet including margins
- The reverse, plus any foxing, tape, tear or trimmed edge
Put in the description
- Artist and title, and the year if known
- 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.
