She pulls a stack from a collection she bought last weekend and starts the slow part: grading. Under a raking light she tilts each record, hunting for the faint scuffs and spindle marks that drop a Near Mint to a Very Good Plus, because that half-grade is the difference between a confident price and a refund. The really suspect ones go on the turntable for a test play, since groove wear you can't see still gets heard, and a 'plays through' note has to be true. She reads the run-out matrix etched in the dead wax with a loupe, cross-referencing the stampers against her pressing guide, because the same album cover can hide a worthless reissue or a sought-after first press and only the matrix tells the truth. The cleaning machine hums in the background, lifting decades of grime so a record presents and plays the way the grade promises. Listing is half archaeology, half honesty: catalog number, label variation, pressing year, every defect disclosed. Packing is its own anxiety, because a flat LP mailer that flexes in a sorting machine arrives with a split seam, and a cracked record is a guaranteed dispute. The market underneath all of it shifts; a reissue announcement can halve an original's value overnight, and a soundtrack rediscovery can double it.
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 vinyl record seller'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 vinyl record seller — 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Found something out of date?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.
