I shouldn't have bought them......

Actually I didn't. A very good customer of mine who likes to go to auctions did.


Has anyone any use whatsoever for a big stack of repro antiquarian prints? Coaching scenes mainly - you know the sort of thing.

There are about maybe 10 different images. No idea of the total amount, but there is a stack about 8 inches thick.



I said I'd ask around.....

Maybe the way to get rid of them is to filter them back into auctions in smaller numbers, even one set of images at a time. I have seen similar, it depends how much they paid, but you can often find you will get as much (or close to) for one set of prints as a massive bundle.

We had a similar recently, 71 reproduction prints of Bath Abbey. The estimate was £30-40, and they sold for about £15. Then at the next auction, one print sold for £22, the following about £12 and I am sure we will keep seeing them. They will of course be putting into other auctions as well.

It may be worth a try, general antiques and collectables auctions are the ones to go for. If you give it a go in your area and it works, to speed things up, I am sure you can pass some onto other forum members who can put them into auction elsewhere. We go to about 10 auction houses in our locality.
