You buy, sell, trade, and consign unique used goods every day. Your POS should track every item, every consignor, every channel — and help you price everything right.
Buy/sell/trade and consignment POS software is a specialized point-of-sale system designed for stores that deal in secondhand, pre-owned, and consigned merchandise. Unlike generic retail POS systems built for stores that order inventory from wholesalers, this software handles the unique workflows of acquiring used goods from customers — whether through direct purchase, trade-in, or consignment agreement.
The core challenge for these stores is that every item is unique. You're not ordering 50 identical widgets from a catalog. You're evaluating, pricing, and tracking hundreds of one-of-a-kind items that came over the counter from individual sellers. That requires a fundamentally different approach to inventory management, pricing, and customer tracking.
Bravo's Buy/Sell platform was built specifically for this model — with the Product Estimator, consignment tracking, multi-channel eCommerce, and the operational tools that secondhand retailers need to move inventory faster and more profitably.
The best buy/sell/trade POS software doesn't force you to process each transaction type separately. Real-world transactions are messy: a customer brings in a guitar to trade, wants to apply the credit toward a different guitar on your wall, and pay the difference in cash. Another customer drops off three items on consignment and buys something while they're there.
When a customer sells you an item outright, the POS should guide your team through valuation (using the Estimator), capture the customer's information (for compliance reporting where required), record the purchase price, and flow the item into your inventory — priced, categorized, and ready to sell or list online.
Trade-ins combine a buy and a sale in one transaction. The customer's trade value is applied as credit toward their purchase. The POS should calculate the net difference, track both the incoming and outgoing items, and maintain a clear audit trail.
Consignment requires tracking items that belong to someone else. The POS needs to maintain consignor accounts, track payable balances, calculate commissions, handle payout schedules, and report on consignment performance. Bravo's consignment tools handle all of this natively.

Pricing used goods is the hardest part of running a secondhand store. Overpay when you buy, and your margins suffer. Underprice when you sell, and you leave money on the table. And when different employees evaluate the same item differently, you get inconsistent results.
Bravo's Product Estimator standardizes the valuation process across your team. It guides employees through condition assessments specific to each product category and pulls real-time pricing data to recommend buy prices and retail prices. Your newest hire makes decisions as informed as your most experienced buyer.
Precious metals, gemstones, diamonds, lab-grown stones — the Jewelry Estimator handles the specialized knowledge required for accurate jewelry valuation, including scrap value calculations for gold, silver, and platinum.
Not a generic walkthrough. A demo built around your store type, your workflows, and your actual pain points.
