You can make as many lists as you like, and give them whatever names you want. The limit is 100 items per list, before we ask you to pay us a monthly fee. You can type in a description or “comment” on each item you put into your lists.

We focus on translating barcodes for Books, Games, music, and Movies, because we can offer more help organizing libraries of those items. But you can have a “library” of anything you want to, from Commemorative Medallions to Star Wars figurines.

Say you’re 15 and have 10 or 20 video games. You know what you have, or course, but do your friends, aunts & uncles? All the people who might get you something for Christmas?

They are going to get you something boring, because there’s no way they can remember which games you already have, even when they gave them to you last year. So they are going to give you a sweater. Sox. Yuk!

What you can do about this is absolutely FREE, and it involves Groqit’s services. You upload the list of your games (it’s fast because the site fills in 3/4 of the information for you) and keep the list up to date.

Let your Uncle Tim and Aunt Mary know you want them to be Groqit Buddies with you. Then they can see what you have when its time to get you a birthday present; any time they want. You’re not sending them a tacky wish list like a Santa Clause letter — they can just check.

You can put up a Wish List too. The lists of what you already have let people surprise you with something new; if they aren’t that adventurous, they can just get you something from your Wish list.

That’s ONE place you keep up to date, and you can share your lists with as many people as you want. The only limitation is 100 items per category. It’s all free.

FOR COLLECTORS:

For people who are serious collectors — and there are a lot of us — just the word INSURANCE should conjure up some thoughts. The services are mostly free. They are very helpful for large collections, as the tools reduce the drudgery of data entry. We store the data securely on our servers, just in case you ever need it. This is true of the free (100 items per list) services as well as the paid ones.

We encourage people use to the free services; we know some will want the convenience and portability, and buy themselves a Groqit.

Oh, and if you really can’t remember whether or not you bought this month’s OK Magazine, you will also probably misplace your Groqit….)
