Earl,
I would have to agree that GS1 would not be able to issue a new number without 
first knowing who owns all the numbers previously issued.  Denise did indeed 
find a good site to check ownership or at least names of products:  
http://www.checkupc .com/
Go to the site and type in the company's name.  You may get a hit.

No doubt, we got on board early in the game. $15,000.00 to use that number
we already had with a zero in front of it, and about $4,500.00 yearly
thereafter.

The RFID Manager number is the biggest scam ever. Pay $5000+ plus
yearly renewals for a zero.

Subject: [EDI-L] Getting a UPC prefix

Here's the latest in extortion...

One of our clients is starting to test with a Trading Partner that uses
UPC 
codes. This will be their first 850/810/856 implementation.

They had obtained a UPC number in 1994, but have never used it, and have
lost 
all records of it.

When they called GS1 (Canada) to get the number, they are being told
that 'they 
do not keep records prior to 1997, and must become a member to obtain a 
(their?) prefix'.

This sounds extremely fishy. There are only 99,999 UPC prefixes. This is
not 
a big file. How can they are claim that they have no records of numbers
issued 
before 1997?
How can they issue new numbers without knowing ALL the current owners?

I see absolutely no reason to join GS1 at this point, for a single TP.
The 
cost would be in the thousands, for something that they have already
paid for, 
and were told would be free...

Anyone have a similar experience?
