Job Lot of Ready Made Frames - Over 500 rims & Mirrors

[markkomark]

Hi All

We are a small photography shop based on the Wiltshire/Hampshire border and have started picture framing. We purchased all the equipment and moulding as a job lot, with a lot (and there is a lot!) of ready made frames. After 6 months of sitting in our shop in "storage", we simply have too many!! Its beginning to become a problem for us, as we need the space as the framing has taken off, and the room is needed for future expansion.

The ready made frames are nearly all missing glass/backboards, but they are nearly all over 20x16 size, in nice very "art" style mouldings. There are also some 40x30cm rims and some large oval mantle mirror rims.

Unsure of the condition - these simply came in, were quickly stored and have sat in a dry warm room. Our intention was to select a frame and offer it to a customer who needed something framed or printed - but we can't get get to them anymore due to the volume of frames. There maybe 1 in 4 that is damaged, but it certainly isn't all the frames.

Looking to sale as either a one massive job lot, or in smaller chunks. We estimate that their is 600 frames in the room.

We are aware that we filled two sprinter vans to the weight limit when initially put in storage - so collection only. More than happy for some more images to be sent to any serious purchaser, and likewise, more than happy for somebody to come and look around and select what they would like (but its on the assumption that it wouldn't be one or two frames).

Price £negotiable/offers - but serious offers please. It is a pile of gold to somebody with a big retail environment - at Christmas, we were able to select a frame, print an image to fit it, and make a serious profit margin. But as you can imaging, it hasn't event dented the pile!

As a footnote - I have a container full of boxed moulding and around 200 art prints - many of the prints will match the frames.

Many thanks,

Mark
