I just purchased Quickbooks & Quickbooks Point of Sale Retail Edition for an antique store I hope to open in a few months. I haven't started using it, but as I read the manuals, am having a few questions. My main question relates to inventory in a business where every item is unique. Many of the features and instructions seem to apply to a more conventional retail business with more fungible goods. Does anyone have any tips, hints, etc.? Does anyone out there use QB and/or QB-POS for an antique or similar business?

We are a car dealer, so we have a unique inventory also. I have set up in my item list as follows: vehicle-main account, then each car is assigned a stock number with description and inventoried as a sub of vehicles. You could do something that is equally the same. Your main could be listed as furniture, with curio 1 as a sub-account or something to that effect. I am not as experienced as some of the others that post here, and I do not word things as technically as others, so I hope this is of some help.

Happy Holidays!
