The math doesn't lie.
Sneaker Resellers deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Tracking cost basis across dozens of platforms and drops. Calculating true profit after platform fees, shipping, and authentication. Managing inventory across StockX, GOAT, eBay simultaneously. Quarterly estimated taxes with wildly variable monthly income. Wave charges $16/month on top of these daily realities. The median sneaker reseller earns $38,000/year — $192/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 sneaker resellers. You own it like you own your Authentication tools (UV light, CheckCheck app).
You hit on a Yeezy restock at 6am — copped 3 pairs at $230 each. By noon you've listed them on StockX at $380, GOAT at $390, and eBay at $385. One sells on StockX but after their 9% fee, shipping, and authentication fee, your $380 sale nets $328. Did you profit? Your spreadsheet has 200 rows and you lost track of which pairs came from which drop. Tax time is a nightmare.
