What would you be weighing having a 3 lb limit?? I guess it would be ok for weighing dope but that's about all. We bought one close to this one except you can remove the face and pull it towards you for big boxes that would normally cover up the readout. I think ours is the 70 lber also. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WEIGHMAX-75-...item4601435c06
