When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $684/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it payment tracking, a system for jobs, or a invoicing system — most collectible dealers in Augusta piece together QuickBooks, Wave, FreshBooks, Square and similar apps. That's $684/year in subscriptions. Over 5 years at today's prices, those subscriptions total $3,420.
Nexa means you stop renting software. Your CRM, payment tracking, scheduling, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one system. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No switching tabs. No third-party glue. No add-on costs. It's a pay once — eliminate recurring fees from day one. For collectible dealers in Augusta weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
The day often starts before the shop is open, scrolling Facebook groups and answering a 'what's this worth' text with a photo of someone's grandfather's coin album. Mid-morning is a buy: a guy walks in with three shoeboxes of late-'80s and '90s commons, and you're pricing the whole lot in your head, paying for the handful of rookies and stars while the rest is bulk. Then it's sorting and triage, pulling anything worth slabbing into a stack for the next PSA bulk submission and noting which raw cards to list. Afternoons disappear into photographing and listing, front and back scans, condition notes, comps pulled from recently-sold. You pack the day's eBay sales into toploaders and bubble mailers, print labels, and reconcile which consignors got paid. Weekends are the real grind: load the car at 5 a.m., set up the booth, lay out the showcases, and spend ten hours trading, haggling, and watching for the deal that walks up to your table. By the end you're counting cash, logging show sales, and trying to remember which sale needs tax collected for that state.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a collectible dealer's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a collectible dealer — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
