Selling an original artwork in Moncton
Moncton is the transport and distribution hub of the region and one of the country’s few genuinely bilingual cities, sitting on a river with a tidal bore that reverses its flow twice a day. It has grown steadily while much of the region has not.
The city is flat, compact and easy to drive in, and parking is not a constraint. It is one of the more straightforward places in the region to arrange a collection.
On white goods, ask to see a full cycle run rather than just a power-on. Appliances change hands frequently in this city and ten minutes settles most questions for good.
Moncton, in New Brunswick, has around 80,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Saint John, Fredericton and Toronto are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Moncton
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 original artworks are worth
What lifts the price
- Signed works by artists with an auction record
- Documented provenance and exhibition history
What pulls it down
- Unsigned works with no attribution
- Water damage on works on paper
Working out what yours is worth
- Photograph the signature, the reverse and any labels
- Search auction results for the artist’s name
Getting it ready
- Measure the work itself and the frame separately, and note the medium: oil, acrylic, watercolour, print.
- Do not clean or restore it. Amateur cleaning destroys value far more often than it adds any.
Photograph
- The full work straight on in even daylight, no glare, no flash
- The reverse, showing any labels, stamps or inscriptions
Put in the description
- Medium and support: oil on canvas, watercolour on paper, print and so on
- Signature and any inscription, transcribed as it reads
Pack flat with corner protectors and a rigid board either side, and never let the glazing sit against the surface. Consider removing glass entirely before posting, as it breaks and cuts the work.
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.
