What to do with the frame after you sell what's inside, by sufsean on Feb 12, 2016 16:48:27 GMT 1, Interested on your thoughts.
Obviously an option would be to re-use it if it's a standard-ish size..
However, a lot of custom framing comes w/ non-standard sizes...
Any recommendations, or anecdotes of places/people buying the frame?
Can you re-size a frame? Is that costly?

Otherwise try to sell it. Personally I would buy an empty frame if they are offered at a good price.

My case--I had a Nick Walker -TMA Santa Monica framed--weird dimensions so don't really have any new buy candidates that would work w/ the frame.

Yep same here - my framer is always happy to adjust old frames to fit new prints

What to do with the frame after you sell what's inside, by turnsintoashes on Feb 13, 2016 18:59:28 GMT 1, Great question, I've wondered the same and have a few empty frames laying around.
I have a largish piece of museum glass in a weird size...that could be cut down/resized too, right?
