Overview
Our support team works hand in hand with you throughout the process of creating your Mega Media Xchange®
store, from securing a location, negotiating your lease, obtaining your
initial inventory and building out your store to opening your doors and
beyond. With our comprehensive training program, ongoing support and
proprietary Software system, we offer a unique opportunity for you to
be in business for yourself, not by yourself, in one of the fastest
growing sectors of retail.
Products & Services
Mega Media Xchange® has
a solid financial base with a management team and pre-owned retail
technology focused on anticipating and satisfying customer needs. Our
stores meet the expectations of today's value-conscious consumers by
providing a unique, upscale and innovative environment to not only buy
Video Games and Equipment, Movies, Music and small Electronics at about
half the cost of new, but also sell or trade-in the items they are no
longer using.
We utilize a proprietary software system that we have developed to take the guesswork out of buying and pricing the merchandise bought directly from our customers. Because the majority of our merchandise is pre-owned, we are able to sell the same items for 40-60% less than traditional retail, while our gross margins are generally much higher.

Why Mega Media Xchange?
By maintaining a detailed history
on each and every unique item ever purchased, our proprietary software
system (NewSoft) has the ability to automatically determine whether an
item should be purchased and if it is needed for that store or if it
should be sent to a separate Online inventory and then establishes a
cost and selling price based on the item's history.
NewSoft does more than just pricing. It is a completely integrated software solution tying together its separate programs for store operations, back office functions, Internet sales and fulfillment, central updates and data analysis. NewSoft is the sixth complete rewrite of the software that we developed and have been using to operate pre-owned stores since the early 90’s. The current version, developed in 2005, is a Windows-based program with a SQL database backend. Version six was necessitated to take full advantage of advances in internet and database technologies and to incorporate specific changes in the way we do business in our Mega Media Xchange® Stores. The software is continuously evolving and being updated. We employ a full-time programmer to assure quick bug fixes and implementation of new ideas as well as provide expert support.
