ConsignPro ended.
Your data didn’t.
If you run your shop on ConsignPro, this page is for you. No sales pitch first — the practical facts first, then a free offer you can take or leave.
- ConsignPro service ended. The company’s notice says service officially ended June 30, 2026 — no new sales, and tech support has ended. Support plans can’t be renewed after July 1.
- MyResaleWeb went dark on July 1. If your consignors checked their balances online, that’s gone. They’ll be calling the shop instead.
- No export path was published. The wind-down notice offers a migration to SimpleConsign, but no instructions for getting your data out yourself, and no guidance if you’d rather stay put.
The software on your computer keeps running. ConsignPro is locally installed — there’s no kill switch in the owned-license version, and your register will ring up sales tomorrow the same as yesterday. What’s gone is everything around it: support when something breaks, the consignor web portal, and any future updates. Your machine is now the single point of failure — which is why the next section matters tonight, not someday.
Everything ConsignPro knows — every item, consignor, balance, and sale you’ve ever rung — lives in a single file:
- On some installs it’s under C:\Program Files (x86)\ConsignPro. Windows search for consign.mdb finds it either way.
- The networked-shop gotcha: if you run more than one register, the real database lives on your main (“server”) PC — the other computers just point at it over the network. Back up from the main PC. A copy taken from a workstation’s own Program Files folder may be an old or empty file.
- Copy it to a USB stick (it’s usually well under 1GB). While you’re there, grab the newest backupdb files from the same folder too.
- The nightly back-*.zip files in that same folder (back-mon.zip through back-sun.zip) are ready-made backups ConsignPro wrote for you — and the newest one is exactly what the Vault upload below wants.
- Do it again every week you keep using ConsignPro. One hard-drive failure is now the difference between your shop’s history and nothing.
1. Take the SimpleConsign offer
The official path: free data migration, free training, no upgrade fee — but it’s a monthly subscription where your license was one-time. Know one thing before you sign: their own conversion documentation says they don’t convert prior account histories or previous invoices (your sales history). Consignor balances and active inventory come across; the years of records behind them don’t. If your shop leans on history — consignor disputes, tax questions, “what did this sell for last time” — keep your own backup of consign.mdb forever, whatever they tell you.
2. Move to ConsignCloud (or another system)
ConsignCloud is a solid cloud system actively courting ConsignPro shops. Same caution applies to any migration: ask exactly what transfers — items, consignors, balances, and sales history — and get it in writing before you switch.
3. Stay put — safely
Legitimate choice. The software runs fine without the company. Staying safely means: weekly backups of consign.mdb to a USB stick or cloud drive, a plan for the day the PC dies (the file restores onto a new machine), and accepting that support, updates, and the consignor portal are gone. You’re buying time to choose well, not avoiding the choice forever.
We’re Vessor — we build software for consignment and resale shops, and we’ve built a reader for ConsignPro databases. Upload your consign.mdb and we’ll send you a free plain-English report of everything inside it: how many items, consignors, and sales it holds, the balances your consignors are owed, how far back your history goes, and whether the file is healthy — so whatever you decide, you decide knowing exactly what you have and exactly what a lossy migration would leave behind.
You keep your data. Our written promise: your file is used only to produce your report. We never sell it, never share it, and delete it on request — one email is enough.
