The Auction Expert Selling Guide #2
Art

Have a black velvet Elvis you'd like to unload? Eager to get rid of that sad-eyed clown painting your Aunt Hortense gave you for Christmas?

Many of The Auction Expert's customers are interested in selling artworks on eBay. In addition to paintings, prints and photographs, we also accept sculptures, statues, mobiles, relics, ceremonial artifacts, and just about any other form of art you can think of - but with a few restrictions:
  1. Framed artwork must be no larger than 11"x14".
  2. The piece must have an estimated eBay value of at least $50. Uncertain what it's worth? Call us and we'll look it up for you.
  3. The item must not be restricted by eBay.

Factors that can affect the value of your piece include:
  • how well-known the artist is
  • whether the piece is signed and numbered (e.g., is it a Limited Edition print?)
  • having a Certificate of Authenticity (COA)
  • the quality of the frame (Is it on acid-free matting and under UV-coated glass?)
  • the condition of the artwork itself (is it clean and free from damage? Has it been stored properly?)
  • how much it will cost to ship (very heavy or delicate items may be prohibitively expensive)
It's doubtful that you have a Van Gogh stored away in your attic (though if you do, we'd love to sell it for you!) But we're happy to look at any artwork that meets our criteria (sorry, Elvis), so call us at 1-877-SELL-4-YOU (1-877-735-5496) and we will be happy to discuss your item(s) and arrange for pick-up.
