Selling an original artwork in Vaughan
Vaughan grew from farmland into one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the country within a generation, and it now has a subway connection and a downtown core that did not exist twenty years ago. Warehousing and distribution are a large part of what happens here, alongside a great deal of new housing.
Driving is assumed and the road network is built for it, so collecting something large is genuinely easy here compared with the older city to the south. Agree a plaza or a landmark rather than trying to describe a subdivision.
On anything from a new-build home, check the fit rather than the condition. A great deal here is sold because it did not suit the next house, which means good pieces at good prices — but measure your own space first.
Vaughan, in Ontario, has around 325,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Vaughan
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

What original artworks are worth
What lifts the price
- Signed works by artists with an auction record
- Sound surfaces with no flaking or overpainting
What pulls it down
- Unsigned works with no attribution
- Overpainting and amateur restoration
Working out what yours is worth
- Photograph the signature, the reverse and any labels
- Note the medium, dimensions and any damage
Getting it ready
- Photograph any signature, and check the back for labels, gallery stamps, inscriptions or exhibition stickers.
- 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
- A detail of the surface showing brushwork or print texture, plus any damage
Put in the description
- Medium and support: oil on canvas, watercolour on paper, print and so on
- Provenance: where you acquired it and any documentation, plus condition
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.

Is it an original or a print?
Look at the surface under raking light: brushwork sits proud, prints are flat and may show a dot pattern under magnification. Say which you observed.
