    I've got 2. First one was bought thru Staples.com with my ink recycling rewards. Believe it was about $170, but I had purchased a box of empty cartridges on line for about $0.20 each. This essentially made my cost about $17. This one weighs to the half pound, but won't register until there are a few pounds on it. Platform is probably 15" x 15". My 2nd scale is one that I bought for refrigerant recovery. Platform is tiny, think about the size to put a propane tank on it. In addition to using it for refrigerant recovery, I use it when I purchase E-waste. Weighs to the quarter ounce. This one was about $200.
