Help Selling Art Online

[LittleSpiffy]

My mom and I love going to a local auction house.  We love it SO much, tha we rarely go   Too tempting to bid on so many different things.

Last year, my mom went and won a lot.  She bought it because it contained a set of placemats we used to own and we've missed them (total luck and we are so happy).

The lot also included a box of art prints (lithographs?)  My mom really liked them and held on to them...until yesterday.  I guess she was inspired by my participation in the "Get Rid of 50 Things" thread?  Anyway, she told me to sell them online.

Um, yeah, I sell things that I at least have a clue about...or a clue of where to look in order to learn more about something.

A box of art prints?  Where do I begin?  There are flowers, birds, ships, woodland scenes...and it looks like the person who owned them before tried to sell them at a flea market because there are tags on them.

Any idea of where I should start with these things?

No idea but they do sound neat.

While creating this post, I checked out eBay.  Although the same items are listed, it looks like it would be more trouble than it's worth to try to sell these piece-by-piece.

I contacted a local consignment shop that deals in fine furniture and decorative items to see if they would be interested in unframed artwork for their shop.

I think my final resort would be to take pictures of each piece and sell it in lots on eBay...

Any other ideas are welcome!

Oh, they are!  I snapped a few photos for the consignment store (they aren't the best photos...more like "I'm tired, let me get this over with":

Are any of them signed/numbered?  I'd love to see more of them.  Good luck!

Those are very pretty, though I have no idea where you would go off selling those, since you didn't make them yourself.

Best of luck!
