Question BarCode purchasing (?)

Any experience out there?

As I see it going directly to GS1 has recurring costs, where as others sell codes outright.

I can do the math (GS1 looking cheaper) but was wondering if GS1 has a high hassle factor --considering they want to know revenue #'s and such.

?

There are companies that just sell you a barcode that will be unique to you and you don't have to go buying 600 or so at once. Problem is that some retailers take only a particular barcode (Walmart being one of them) so you can't just buy a barcode based on price.

I use GS1 and they have never asked for any revenue numbers.

Initial cost is high, yearly renewals are relatively inexpensive.
