I don't want to be argumentitive, but I don't see how providing photographs of 1000 dvds (etc) will do in shipping items overseas in a cargo container.

I'm assisting someone in building a paper list of their personal inventory of items. This paper list needs to include basic details about the items (name of item, "edition" or "version" if there is one, media form, etc), and the NEW price of each item, for replacement value.

We *are* photographing electronics and furniture. But I need something that can read bar codes, scrape information about the bar code online, and then write the item info and price to a database or spreadsheet.

I may be misunderstanding what you mean when you say to photograph these items?
