    I'm sure in all states if you are using a scale for business it needs to be inspected/certified every year. I don't see the scale as the problem, it would be that it only takes a fraction of a second to add a tare to your weight.



    I would NEVER sell something when I didn't know what I had. You can sell batteries as a flat rate which is easy to figure out or by weight, but I'd surely know what they weighed. If they shorted me I wouldn't sell it.
