Any suggestions on how to sell a framed serigraph by Eyvind Earle, that is worth a few thousand dollars?

There seem to be a ton of such items on eBay.

Following on Thorzdad's posting, searching on eyvind earle serigraph on eBay gives 15 results, with the prices (bids, reserves, "buy it now") mostly between $1,000 and $2,500.

Given that level of activity, eBay is probably a reasonably good place to buy/sell such a serigraph.

I have been following the buying + selling of art on eBay for a short time. It appears that there are only a few items that ever really sell. I was hoping to find some other resources in addition to eBay.

Well, there are some of these serigraphs for sale at artbrokerage.com (that the lowest offering price is $3,000 is because the site doesn't handle anything less expensive), which is a brokerage (intermediary).

Lots for sale at HerdonFineArt.com ; consignments at divart.com; doubletakeart.com has 36 in stock.

Those are among the top results for a google search on:

"eyvind earle" serigraph price

So it looks like there are a variety of places to either list your serigraph (including consignments) or sell it to a dealer (although you obviously wouldn't get top price by doing so), other than eBay.
