Secondhand Goods Software for Retailers

POS software for shops that buy and sell used goods


Tower Systems includes secondhand goods management in its retail POS software. It covers the full cycle — buying, recording, pricing, floor management, and selling — with a proper record at every step.

The feature started with jewellers back when they were the main retailers asking for it. Over time, pawnbrokers, antique dealers, game shops, book retailers and others asked for it too. Those conversations changed the feature. It handles things generic software does not think about.

What it does

  • Records each item at purchase, including seller details
  • Assigns a unique identifier so items are traceable through the store
  • Manages pricing, condition grading, and shelf location
  • Generates the records required under state secondhand goods legislation
  • Supports NSW Police EDI reporting — the tightest compliance standard in Australia
  • Replaces paper register books; all records live in the POS system
  • Keeps a retrievable audit trail if a dispute or compliance check comes up

Who uses it

Jewellers, antique dealers, pawnbrokers, game shops, book shops. Any retailer buying used goods from members of the public and putting them back on the floor.

Getting set up
