Good prices for a scale? (links)

I have looked everywhere, but my friend found me this place that has decent to good prices on scales. Being the newb I am, I don't know good prices for a scale.


My friend, who works for a biomedical company, found what he said to be the best deal. Here is the link:

Top Line Digital Scales

A scale that goes from 0.1 grams all the way up to 250 grams is $19.99.
You can upgrade it so that it measures up to 500 grams for only $5 more.

Whichever one you get, you can get a second one for only $10 more.

So 2 for $29.99 of the 0.1g ---> 250g, or...
2 for $34.99 for the 0.1g ---> 500g

You can also get scales that go all the way down to 0.01g, or 0.001g.

Depends where you live but in georgia I'd jump on that deal (usually around 30 a piece). Find someone else who needs one and pay 15 each

get one of those crystal scale's

huge floor to put stuff on...... well not huge but its about 3cmx10cm's..... so u can put allot of weed on there without it falling down..

prices sound good on those scales..

You dont have a trails?? I got a nice scale from wal-mart that is digital and measures and grams, ounces and pounds down 0.1g for $29 or $39, i forget, but it works GR8!! But damn no trails... you in the states?

what do you mean a trails? I went to a hunting store but the scales were all really tiny surface area... they were for ammunition or something

Its a parafinaila (too high to spell) store where you can buy pipes and bongs and suck, if you have stores like this in your area, you can find one there no problem, otherwise walmart....

Re: Weak batteries causing false readings . . . drop a penny on there first, after your tray's (tare) been calculated into zero.
Should read 2.5gms. per U.S. Gov. website.
I suppose that'd mean you wouldn't need to buy the little penny-weight, at least for grams.

Sounds like a good deal but check the dimensions, it's tiny.
Probably work out OK but I like a larger weighing area.

I told my friend (who already placed an order for two of the scales I mentioned) about concerns about the surface area.

His reply was:

"that is irrelevant"
"you should use weight boats anyway"

I dunno though... hehe

i go ebay everytime. i bought a nice aws ( i dont know how it is where you live but every dealer and their mom has an aws ) that reads to .1g and up to 600 grams for 20 bucks on ebay shipping included. I was stuck one day without my scale and had to buy the same scale in a local head shop for 50 bucks.

oh and about the surface area... what i do is i use a solo cup then tare it out that way you can fill the cup and get a perfect reading

i wouldnt go that way man. pennies has been known to have different materials in them each year because of the high cost of copper. use a nickel. a nickel is always 5 grams , worst case 4.9. a dry dollar bill will read out to a gram too

Good point. I have a scale for large quantities but it only goes down to 1gm. I think I'll get a small one for small quantities.

yeah it's good to just have around. go to a 7-11 on whatever convienience store is in your area and get one of the big fountain drink cups thats like 64oz. it makes it easy to weigh up a lot on a small scale

Yea 64oz cups would make the job alot easier!

ebay "myweigh" best scales ever i have had a bunch and they all sucked balls till i found myweigh. 30year to lifetime warranty

i just got this one for $25 shipped off ebay its made of hemp plastic. weed scale made of weed.

I bought a nice scale for $40. Down to .01g and is the best one I've owned. I talked the Colombian dude at the headshop down to 40 from 60. And to be honest, I would have paid $60 for it. Dish out the extra cash and it will last you longer and be more precise. It's worth it!

I've owned cheap scales before, and they are great for getting a rough ESTIMATE. Go for the .01g scales!

I appreciate your advice. Every penny I've ever weighed has hit exactly 2.5 grams. I believe that weight would only vary thru obvious wear and tear.
