Selling paintings 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.
Distribution and call-centre work brings people in on contracts, and the city’s growth means households are being set up here more often than they are being cleared — which makes it a better place to sell than the regional average.
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.
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 paintings are worth
What lifts the price
- Signed original works with documented provenance
- Artists with an established auction record
What pulls it down
- Prints and reproductions mistaken for originals
- Unsigned works with no attribution
Working out what yours is worth
- Look closely at the surface — prints show dot patterns under magnification
- Photograph the signature, the back and any labels
Getting it ready
- Look for a signature and any date, including in the corners and along the edges under the frame rebate.
- Do not clean, varnish, retouch or reframe. Amateur cleaning removes glazes permanently and is the most common way value is destroyed.
Photograph
- The painting square on, whole, in even daylight without glare or reflection
- The complete reverse, including stretcher, labels and any inscription
Put in the description
- Medium and support — oil on canvas, watercolour on paper, acrylic on board
- The signature as it appears, and any date or inscription
Collection is far safer for anything sizeable or framed. If posting, use corner protectors, a rigid double-walled box and a face-protecting board, and never let bubble wrap touch the paint surface directly.
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.

Who is the artist?
Say what the signature reads and what you actually know about where it came from. Speculative attribution to a well-known name reads as a warning sign to serious buyers.
