Yesterday ConsignPro announced it will be “merging” with SimpleConsign and that ConsignPro users will eventually have to transition to SimpleConsign. If you’re a store owner that runs ConsignPro, this post is for you.
Peeps’ Software
I opened The Computer Peeps in 2010 and launched Peeps’ Software in 2016. I have been working in the consignment/resale industry since 2003.
I invite store owners currently running ConsignPro to come over to Peeps. We have a full conversion, so you don’t have to re-tag your inventory, and Peeps is just a much better software experience than ConsignPro. And store owners on SimpleConsign, we’ve got you covered as well.
When I launched Peeps’ Software in 2016, it was in response to the thousands of calls and emails with store owners, experiencing issue after issue with ConsignPro. As I launched Peeps’ Software, I kept waiting for “something” to happen but the years have gone on and it just hasn’t happened.
In that time, I’ve launched our Peeps2Go mobile, our Consignor Login app for iOS, our Consignor Login app for Android, Peeps’ Texter, Peeps’ Shopify Integration, Peeps’ Touch Consoles & Kiosks, etc., etc., etc.
Converting to Peeps
With ConsignPro coming to an end, planning for what to do now is important. Peeps’ Software runs without a monthly subscription and without Internet — even Peeps2Go. If you’re an X-Charge User, Peeps is fully-integrated with X-Charge. I am extending the following offer to current ConsignPro store owners that are ready to switch to Peeps:
- Free database conversion from ConsignPro to Peeps, including consignors, available inventory, balances, etc.
- 60 days of full Peeps’ Software (Peeps’ Support included), no cost, no risk.
- Sign-up for 1 year of Peeps’ Support and I’ll replace your computers with our MiniPeeps. *** OFFER EXPIRES 4/10/2024 ***
Converting from one program to another can be challenging, but it’s something I am proud to have done hundreds of times and I handle every part of the process. You don’t have to replace your thermal tag printers either.
Call today @ (888) 374-5422 and ask for Dean. We can discuss the process, address any concerns, and hopefully alleviate any anxiety you might be experiencing. There are hundreds of reasons to switch to Peeps from ConsignPro and with ConsignPro coming to an end, now you have one more.

I am a Software Developer, System Administrator, and consignment software specialist. I currently manage hundreds of consignment workstations, point of sale systems, and database servers all across North America and I am the developer of Peeps' Software, Peeps2Go, and Peeps' Consignor Login for iOS and Android. I've been helping consignment & resale store-owners since 2003. I started The Computer Peeps in February of 2010. Peeps' Software launched in 2016 and is now on hundreds of systems all across North America. I have successfully converted dozens of stores from all of the major consignment software systems. After 20 years of working with consignment stores, I understand the unique challenges consignment & resale store-owners face. From electrical issues in old buildings or strip malls, to advocating for them when their old consignment software keeps crashing.
I have Consign Pro and need to switch. After making comments about not going with SimpleConsign Brian has locked me out of the Con Pro Facebook page for awhile. Not long till he will shut me down! People are noticing more problems with Consign Pro. I have to leave thought about Liberty but they are under the same umbrella as SimplecConsign and Brian is with them. I’m finished with Brian!! O would like to learn about your system. We may have talked in the past but now I’m ready to move. Have to!
Hi JeRena,
Dean @ Computer Peeps here! I am sorry to hear that and I would say this is the first time I’ve heard a customer say they’ve been locked-out of the Facebook page, but I seem to be hearing that quite a bit.
I’m glad you posted here and I’m going to reach-out to you directly.
Thank you again for taking the time to post here and I’m sorry to hear you encountered what seems to happen to a lot of store owners.
All the best,
Dean
I have a ton of questions for you. I have a handwritten speed sheet I’m working on. One thing I need to know is do you transfer sold and unsold items? I noticed you added a cash register ringing!! Now add what the daily goal is for the day. Opening the program in the morning shows what the store did today one year ago. Then you set your goal for the day. Can be last years number or a new goal. When the goal is met a box pops up on the screen. Personally, I think it should ding or something. Confetti maybe! My employees love the competition!
Hi JaRena,
Great to hear from you again! I love it @ the spreadsheet — that’s perfect!
Peeps’ ConsignPro Conversion converts all of your *available* inventory over to Peeps, along with your accounts, and account balances. You do *not* have to re-tag your inventory! 🙂
I’m glad you received my email notice when I added the features you and I discussed last time! I have these in our Bugby system to add in the near future. 🙂
I’ll reach out to you directly as well and let me know if you need anything else!
Dean @ Computer Peeps
I would like to know more about Computer Peeps. I am with ConsignPro, not all that long ago ; the main reason I purchased the expensive software is because there was no monthly fee. I need to get this figured out. I am a very small shop and am not able to be open as much as I would like due to my Lupus. I would definitely have to close if I had to pay a monthly fee. I don’t bring enough in. Thank you for your time.
Hi Tammie,
Dean @ Computer Peeps here! So sorry to hear that and sorry you’ve been put in this predicament.
Peeps’ Software does not require a monthly fee to run and Peeps’ Software is extremely stable and reliable — i.e. it’s not failing all the time and ‘requiring support’.
I also have a ConsignPro conversion to transfer your existing consignors, available inventory, etc. over to Peeps’ Software so you don’t have to re-tag your store.
I think I found your store’s page on Facebook and I’ll reach-out to you directly.
Looking forward to speaking with you and we can definitely help.
Dean @ Computer Peeps
Can you run a website like consign pro?
Hi Jona,
Dean @ Computer Peeps here! Peeps’ Software has full Shopify integration, which ConsignPro does not have, but if you’re talking about selling online the answer is yes! 🙂
Let me know if that helps or if you have any other questions!
I am currently with Consignpro and looking at other options. Please contact me. I need to get a list of questions together but imagine that peeps program runs approximately the same as consignpro. I am brick and mortar. No online sales. Do not require consignor portal.
Best regards
Lynne
Hi Lynne,
Dean @ Computer Peeps here! Thank you for reaching-out to us and posting here, sincerely. You’re correct in saying the programs are similar, with Peeps being more stable and reliable.
We have a full conversion from ConsignPro, so you don’t have to re-tag your inventory, and we support every portion of this, install/configure all of your printers (e.g. the Zebra LP2824, Zebra ZD410, Star TSP65x, etc.) and we provide a full 60 days of Peeps at no charge.
I’ll reach out to you directly today and thanks again for taking the time to post here on our blog. 🙂
All the best,
Dean
Hi Dean! I am interested in switching from my current situation to your company. I have been chatting with a friend who has done so and she has had a great experience. I would like to discuss getting this started. What’s my first step?
Hi Stacy,
Dean here and nice to meet you! I’m so happy to hear your friend had a great experience with Peeps!
Next step — I’d recommend a phone call and we can discuss your store and setup, then I’d recommend doing a Peeps’ Software Demo together with me and we can go through Peeps together.
I will follow-up with you directly via email and I’m looking forward to hearing more about your store!
All the best,
Dean
Hi Dean! I just called and left you a message. We too, are currently with CONSIGN PRO and have been for 14years. We are interested in your consignment program. We only sell in a brick and mortar store and feel the monthly subscription fee would not benefit us. Also, we are wondering if you support MY RESALE WEB? We look forward to hearing from you!
Diane & Heather
Hi Diane & Heather,
It was really nice meeting you both today! I know we got to discuss everything, but I still wanted to reply here as well. 🙂
Peeps proudly runs without any subscription and does not require a monthly fee. Peeps is stable and reliable and you can feel confident your store can run without constant support issues.
Our Consignor Login system @ https://consignorlogin.com/ is for your consignors to check their balances and sold inventory, account transactions, etc. We also have our official Consignor Login for iOS @ https://consignorlogin.com/ios and our official Consignor Login for Android @ https://consignorlogin.com/ too.
It was great meeting you and looking forward to working with you!
All the best,
Dean
