What This Means 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 deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: 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. QuickBooks charges $55/month on top of these daily realities. The median vintage reseller earns $36,000/year — $660/year in software subscriptions is a significant percentage of that income, paid every year, forever.

Nexa is $279 once. Invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, accounting — all connected, built for vintage resellers. You own it like you own your Reference guides and price databases.
