Photogold gallery specialises in the secondary market , particularly Jack Vettriano, Beryl Cook and David Shepherd prints , and we regularly source sold-out copies for our many customers on a daily basis. Phone 07723-538941 or contact us online.
Fine art limited edition prints are published in editions of 100 to 950 Once the last copy of any particular issue is sold by the publisher that issue is then sold out.
Whilst an issue is sold out from the publisher, further copies often become available on what is known as the “secondary market”. Typically, these are copies that have been acquired by galleries and dealers anticipating a sell-out issue and the consequent increase in value as demand drives prices upwards. Secondary Market copies are therefore, usually, mint unsold copies and have rarely been pre-owned.
How much could a secondary market copy cost?
Typically, secondary market prices can initially be between 10 – 50% higher than the original published price and, in some cases, pieces that are very much in demand can double in price very quickly indeed.
As specialists in this secondary market, we have many contacts with dealers, private collectors and galleries both in the UK and internationally. We can source sold-out copies at the best possible price .
We can usually manage to find the piece you are looking for but, occasionally, where rarer issues are unavailable, we will take your details and contact you should a copy come on the market.
