<p>[QUOTE="David Broom, post: 4433727, member: 19942"]I think if you get £75 net for this painting you’ll have done well. Therefore I’d minimise any costs on your part. I’d give facebook marketplace a try specifying collection only, so no shipping costs. Maybe list at £95 but say in the bumph open to negotiation. Hopefully someone with a second home in Polperro will fall in love with it and be able to collect on their way. If you go to auction then ebay (again specifying collection) is good but you pay commission so list it up when there’s a special offer on. List it as an auction with a high fixed starting price (eg £150) but allow a ‘best offer’ and see what turns up. The most convenient route would be a local auction house in Poole or Bournemouth but don’t be surprised if you only make £25 net.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
