YOU ARE NOT ALONE RUNNING THIS STORE...
AND WE MEAN IT EVERY DAY
Running A Store Can Feel Heavy When Every Decision Lands On Your Shoulders. You Don't Have to Carry All of This By Yourself.
Running a resale business often means figuring things out alone. Big decisions. Daily pressures. Quiet doubts no one else sees.
At NARTS, you find clarity, confidence, and steady reassurance from people who have walked this road before you. This is a community built on shared experience, practical wisdom, and real support.
Whether you are opening your first store, leading a growing team, managing multiple locations, or preparing for a transition, you belong in a community that understands the unique world you work in.

MEMBERS FIRST PHILOSOPHY
Members First Is Not A Slogan. It Is How We Operate.
NARTS matters because our members matter.
This association exists to serve the people who pour their time, talent, and heart into resale every single day. Every decision we make is guided by one question. Will this make a store owner feel braver, more hopeful, and more capable while sparking belief, clarity, or momentum?
Here you will find education that fits your world, a community that understands your path, and a sense of belonging that reminds you that you are not doing this alone.
AT NARTS, WE UNDERSTAND
THE CHALLENGES YOU FACE
AND YOU'RE NOT ALONE ANYMORE
Skill Building
Training Made for Resale
Resale is its own animal, and most training misses the mark. Here, you learn what actually works in real stores, from people who have lived it and it's not one-size-fits-all.
Shared Wisdom
People Who Share and Support
Wishing for peers who understand your world and openly share what they’ve learned, not guard it. This is a place where peers openly share lessons, ideas, and insight.
Fresh Perspective
Gatherings That Move You Forward
Seeing the same problems day after day without a place to talk through new possibilities. At NARTS, new conversations matter for renewed momentum and ideas.
Smart Moves
Tools That Strengthen Decisions
Trying to make good decisions without reliable guidance or proven direction is tricky. Inside the membership find practical tools, templates and guides for the resale industry.
Straight Talk
Information That Keeps You Ahead
Wanting honest answers instead of vague opinions or paywall-protected information. You deserve clear, reliable insight without the noise. Stay informed with our experts.
Real Community
A Community To Belong To
Feeling isolated in an industry that doesn’t come with built-in coworkers or mentors can be tough. Here find people who understand what you do and walk alongside you.
"We understand these challenges because this is the world we’ve lived in for decades. And that’s exactly why NARTS exists. Not to sell you programs or quick fixes, but to give you a community that stands with you, answers that come without strings, and guidance shaped by the people who’ve walked this path before you. You don’t have to navigate this industry alone. You’ve finally found the place built for you."
Angie Houloose, Executive Director
Clarity, Community, and Confidence
Running a resale business comes with a lot of unknowns. Laws change. Technology evolves. Trends shift. Some days you feel confident, and other days you wonder if you’re missing something important.
NARTS exists to take some of that weight off your shoulders.
We provide a place where resale professionals can find clarity instead of confusion, ideas instead of roadblocks, and connection instead of isolation. Whether you’re navigating regulations, exploring new tools, looking for trusted resources, or simply needing to talk with someone who understands this work, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Through education, shared experience, and a community that shows up, NARTS helps members stay informed, supported, and moving forward. We’re here to help you make sense of the changing landscape, find practical solutions, and feel confident in the decisions you’re making for your business.
This is hard work. And when the questions feel heavy and the path feels unclear, NARTS exists to help you feel braver, more hopeful, and more capable, so you can keep moving forward with confidence.
This is a New Era. This is Members First. This is NARTS.
