The math doesn't lie.
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. Wave charges $16/month on top of these daily realities. The median vintage reseller earns $36,000/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 vintage resellers. You own it like you own your Reference guides and price databases.

You need to track cost basis on 200+ items across physical and online sales, and your 'system' is a notebook in your car.
