Replace Stoker Consignment Software with BCSS

Stoker and ConsignEZ consignment software have been out of business for several years. Since then many technological advancements have come along and many improvements have been made to Best Consignment Shop Software.

Other Offers for Conversion from Stoker:

Most consignment-software programs are offered by individuals with the same inherent risk: A program written and supported by one person carries the same potential of leaving shop owners without support for their program if/when the programmer gets on the wrong plane or decides to do something else. This risk has increased in recent years because of the increase in the number of software offerings.

Of the offerings proffered, most are vendors charging much higher prices and annual service fees. Most stores find BCSS Deluxe edition ($395) more than sufficient to run their businesses. BCSS Diamond ($595) supports the use of thermal-label printing, networking, employee management, buyer records, wish lists, mall rental and police reporting. Either way, BCSS is not an individual programmer and there are no ongoing service fees, so be wary of individuals who answer their own phone and make 'deals' to get you locked into never-ending fees.
