That is a great price at Amazon. Much better than a comparable one at Wizard. |

I'm not an ebay person. However, I once, and only once, did use ebay for a purchase. It was a scale. Made in China. Never did work accurately. Now sits on a shelf and soon to be dumped into a garbage can. |

You can buy a nice scale and cheap on E-bay and I've even bought a decent electronic scale at a flea mart. They are out there believe me.

Bad to the bone, which scale did you buy off of ebay? |

Option A has a lot of extra functionality, which tells me it will break faster.  Choose Option B. Keep it simple.  |

About 7 years ago I purchased a cheap scale for under $20 that was made in China on ebay as I have a weight limit on my other scale, and was not really concerned about an exact weight... My other scale is a top-of-the-line scale I purchased some dozen years ago when my daughter joined my coin business and we started dealing in jewelery and gemstones, and needed exact carat weight on the gemstones... believe it or not, the cheap $20 scale (while it does not measure carat weight) is spot on with my $500+ scale when it weighs grams or penny weight (DWT). And if you want to measure any large gemstones on a cheap, but accurate scale, 0ne gram equals five carats (if memory serves as I've ended that business in 2003).. |

I decided to go with the AWS-100! Found it on ebay for $9.89 shipped from my own state of MI. We shall see how good it is. I will be sure to give an update. |

Nice choice stud722. Don't forget to purchase a 100g calibration weight.

Already got my scale in the mail today. Right out of the box, dead on. I am pretty impressed with it thus far. It is easy to use. I would rate it a 9.5 out of 10. I give it a 9.5 and not a 10 because it comes with trash batteries instead of energizers or deracells :) I would recommend this scale
It also has a 10 year warrenty!

...it comes with trash batteries... Sometimes I think we were better off when batteries were not included. Glad to hear you are satisfied. Let us know how it holds up in the future. |
