Scales

Ok guys and gals I need to buy my first scale. I need suggestions on where to get one, what kind, and what to look for. I saw one last night at Wally World that was digital and would go down to 1 gram it was meant for food but it was only $30.00 bucks so anyway any help like always is greatly appreciated.

thats should work just fine it helps if it has a tare option and look to see what the maximum capacity is also check the stationary department too by the mail supplies

I agree.... the one I have has tare, up to 500 grams and 0.01 increments of weight.... got it on e-bay for a steal as well I might add

I have the one for food from walmart, it does grams, pounds and ouces and has a tray, if its the same one you are looking at it does tare out but only does full grams. It was $30 at walmart but I bought mine off ebay for less than $15 including shipping. My only regret is the full grams only but it does go to 5lbs so once I get a better gram scale it will still be good for weighing packages.

I need to take my scale back to WalMart! It is digital and tars out also goes up plenty high enough. However, it only weighs in 2gr increments. So now that I know there are scales on eBay that weigh in 1gr (and lower) increments that are less then $30 I am off to search eBay

Thanks for the tips,

Wendy, you were right I bought a scale last night at ebay for 20 bucks including shipping and insurance. It tares out, and weights up to 500 grams.Accuracy to .1 gram. Thanks for the info.

Great, I was looking at them last night too, I want one that does less than whole grams and 500 grams is plenty high enough for leos!
