Nice pull from the trash. I have one that I paid about $400 for new when I bought it. It is incredibly accurate.Originally Posted by Gravitar
I pulled one of those doctors office scales out of the trash a few months ago, it didn't cost me a penny and it works great:
For most items I have a postal scale bought from E-bay that goes to 50 pounds. I have 2 of them. One on the bench and one in the truck. For larger items I have another type of shipping scale that goes to 150 pounds. It can set on the floor and has a readout that is remote. You can hang it on the wall behind it. Not wireless, but it has a phone cord connecting the 2 units. This unit. Used Pelouze 4010 Receiving Digital Platform Scale 150 lb x 60kg x 2 lb x 1kg | eBay
I got it for $8 at a garage sale. Great buy. Difference is the smaller postal scale will weigh to the ounce or smaller. When you move up the weight scale, the increments change such as this scale reads one decimal point of a pound. So the postal scale may weigh up at 1 pound 7 ounces, the next scale weighs in at 1.5 pounds.
Similar to when you drive over the scale at the shred yard and it measures in 20 pound increments. The larger the weight limit, the larger the increments.
