Be Excellent To Each Other

But not from entertainment items. Anything from hairspray to snack foods. No videos, DVDs or games or books. Magazines are fine. Either PM me or put them in here. I do have very good reason for wanting them but it's more amusing to leave you not knowing.

Do we need to scan them, or do you just want the numbers?

I hope you're playing Barcode Battlers

Are you after the stripes or the numbers?

Just the numbers. Sorry, I'm not playing Barcode Battlers.

Grim... beat me to it. Oh well.

No need to put spaces in them. Just number only will be fine. But thank you very much!

Woohoo! Thanks.

Oh and I must point out that if they're less than 12 numbers, they're no good.

I had a great idea once involving the iPhone and a big database full of barcodes. Unfortunately the iPhone camera (or more accurately, the fixed focus of it) can't read barcodes.

I'm just trying to work out if playing Barcode Battler is sadder than playing Eve. But I suppose with a Barcode Battler you might actually go outside in order to find more barcodes.

Wonder what those super long barcodes in Aldi are worth?

I assure you I'm not playing barcode battler. These barcodes do potentially make me money though.

The n95 can though, but it is "3D" barcodes.

Yeah yeah, you and the ghost of Dr A battling it out:

If you really want to know what I do with them, it's to enable me to create listings on Amazon for stuff that isn't already there.
Such as 5000168076218 which was mini cheddars but is now this

5051622020476 - gift bag
4905524502893 - camera

128C standard, then.

Nirejhenge , oh, err, do you need a product description too now then?

Ah so to list something on Amazon you need a valid Bar Code, but as these items (for whatever reason) don't you are faking it with items that defo wouldn't be on amazon.

Crafty.

Eh? Run that one by me again.

5 000201 499776 - twirl bar
9 771759 103007 - magazine

At first I tried making them up but it didn't work. Amazon told me that the barcode isn't valid. Is there some formula to know if it is valid or not?

Allow me to translate:

Ah so to create a catalogue entry on Amazon you need a valid Bar Code, but as these items (for whatever reason) don't have one, you are faking it with items that definitely wouldn't be on amazon already.

And you're out of the game!

Nope, still don't get it. I'll go to bed and try again tomorrow.

Edit, oh is this for items that don't have barcodes?

Anyone got the barcode for Rise of the Robots or a GX4000?

I seem to remember there is a formula to check if they're valid. Something to do with one of the numbers being a check digit... possibly the last one?

Anyway...

Old games are perfectly fine. Pre Dreamcast anyway.

Yes. Or they have a barcode which matches something else or the barcode matches another branch of Amazon's version of the product (often with UK import mentioned in the listing). For some reason despite things being a UK item they are on other Amazon sites but not the UK and you can't list them by that barcode if they are. Oddly. So I have to create a completely new listing for it.

978 Bananas.

50 bananas, you mean.

It was actually 29.99 bananas... It still has the sticker on it.

9770961731084 - Amiga Power, but which issue?

BANANAS DO NOT EQUATE TO POUNDS STERLING!

As is clearly stated in the rules of scoring, the redeemable value of a banana is 0.0000000001 pence

Does that mean it's worth 0.000000002999 bananas then? You could have a deal on your hands here!

0.0000002999p seems a reasonable price for RotR.

I'm sad for remembering that all Morrisons own-brand products start with 5010250.

I think they might all be the same. I know I've used at least one AP before.

Indeed I have used that

5000159001229 - 150g Galaxy chocolate - Om Nom Nom

I might have used that one too.

I haven't but it comes up with this
