Why This Matters for Vintage Resellers

You hit two estate sales before 8am and spent $340 on mid-century pieces. You've got a booth at the antique mall ($450/month rent) and an Etsy shop. Half your sales are cash at the booth with no receipt trail. Your Etsy shop has 15 orders to ship this week. You need to track cost basis on 200+ items across physical and online sales, and your 'system' is a notebook in your car.

Vintage Resellers face unique challenges: Tracking inventory value across estate sales, flea markets, and online. Booth rental fees eating into margins with inconsistent sales. Managing consignment splits and payouts. Seasonal income swings making tax estimates impossible. On top of all that, Wave charges $16/month ($192/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median vintage reseller earns $36,000/year. Software at $192/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Reference guides and price databases is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

FAQ

Is Nexa really a Wave replacement for vintage resellers?

For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. Wave may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.

$279 seems like a lot.

It's $7.75/month over 3 years. Wave is $16/month — that's $644 over 3 years. Which is more? And if you'd rather split it, Nexa is also available as 3 payments of $99.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Nexa is $279 as a one-time payment, or 3 payments of $99 ($297 total). Either way it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring fees ever.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I import my Wave data?

Export your data from Wave as CSV, import into Nexa in about 5 minutes.
