If I bought a barcode scanner for my computer…?

If I bought a barcode scanner for my computer…?
Would I be able to sell my own items? I want to have a garage sale. I have old books, bikes, hunting equipment that I dont need and my son outgrew his baby clothes. So I was planing on selling them. I recently got my own 7 – 11 Store (called the Franchise) and now I get all these gift cards, but I dont have any game systems or play any online games (don’t have time). So I was wondering if I could sell some at my garage sale using a barcode scanner. Is that possible?

I know the store one works after having a couple kids buy some for XBOX’s and Wii Points and stuff like that, but would a home barcode scanner work on gift cards or should I just continue selling the extra’s at the store?

Best answer:

The barcode scanner is just a fast way of getting a code into a computer (or a POS)
Usually on products, the numbers are under the barcode, I am not sure whether that is the case with the gift cards. The barcode scanner may just scan them into the computer (inventory, a line on the cash register) or activate them online. If the numbers are under the barcode, you can also activate them by keying in the numbers.

Just the barcode scanner will not work.

Maybe you can use them as a promotional item to get people to your shop ?
