Do I need 1 barcode or 15?
I've never needed to get a UPC before, although I feel I might need more in the coming years
If I just need one I will get it from an online seller of UPC's, but if I need 15 I may as well just get my own UPC manufacturer code.
Thanks,

You want 15 different ones. The cost of getting your manufacturing code is quite high, plus maintenance fees. I'm looking into this as well...
The cheap places may re-use UPC code from discontinued products.
