-transferring small digital business from #UK to #Canada (continuation of current clientbase & work, option +Canadian dimension)
Anyone have any thoughts about selling a lot of art design reference etc books in the UK?
I have stacks and stacks of mint condition & quite beautiful art, design, architecture, various reference books. Is anyone managing to sell books these days?
Individual sales via ebay or whatever would take too long, be too much work packaging and sending individual books I think. Some kind of bulk sale would be better. #FediHelp
Anyone have any thoughts about selling a film/tv collection in UK?
I have a lot of 4Ks, blu rays and DVDs, physical movies & tv shows on disc. I could ship them, but also if I can get some cash for them that isn't ridiculously low that would be an option.
@ArtBear Are you looking to get good money for them or just unload them so that you don't need to deal with shipping? You could look into asking an auction house how much they'd give you for the lot. Or find a bookstore/pawn shop/whatever that will sell them on consignment.
@ArtBear@driusan To maximise your money, you'd need to do a lot of research and sell them in small lots or individually. That's a lot of time and hassle. I think you'd be better off getting several quotes from auction houses for taking the whole lot - then they will store, research and sell on. Of course, you may not get quite as much that way, but you'll get 75% perhaps, and it'll all be done in one.
@ArtBear I can’t speak much to the moving to Canada portion, other than once you’ve decided where in the country you want to move to, find out who the federal and provincial Member of Parliaments are, and contact them once you have your new address. Ask them for resources about moving your successful business their area.
@ArtBear Promise to bring $100K in investment, grease the rails. Of course that's not enough for a down payment on property in any major city, so it's a low bar.
We don't decide to do anything innovative unless someone in the US has been successful with it for 5 years. So Canadian innovators target the US market first. Keep those clients in the UK for as long as possible.
