    I need about 300+ UPCs so that I can list on Amazon and a few other sites. Is there anywhere that anyone recommends for getting this cheap? GS1 just seems WAY overpriced...

    I believe you only get 100 UPCs through a basic GS1 membership, but that is really the only route especially for that volume of UPCs.

    If you need your own ID number and if you;re in the US, you;re only option is GS1 I believe. If you;re planning on trying to get your product in large resellers, you'll need to use GS1.

    If you feel you can get away with it, try a reseller that'll put you under their own ID number like buyabarcode.com.

    edit to mods: It took a bit of research to find out about the above. Someone else posted during that time. I'm leaving my post as is since I give a reference link.
