I just received my scale from an awesome deal on eBay and the seller has another one listed. You can't beat the price. $29.95 + 8.00 shipping and the scale goes for a lot more everywhere else. It has accessories for letter mail, a bowl, and a Tube or cue rest for wieghing those cues. Only downside is waiting on UPS ground with tracking. It is a leading brand model also. I have been looking hard for a replacement for the one someone stole in the poolroom I worked in. This is the nuts. Hope someone appreciates the lead.

A little while back there was a post about this scale: pocket scale

It's not nearly as beefy as yours but it's precise down to 0.1g / 0.01oz so it's a little more accurate. Yours would be good for heavy packages.

I recall someone saying the pocket scale deal that was posted ended up as junk, besides, this weighs down to .05 oz and for my cues that is wonderful. This isn't to be carried in your pocket for weighing grams. Sorry. that is a different market completely. :D It is a great all around scale for light shipping of cues , weighing cues, cue weights, etc. I am not the seller and was only passing on what I think is a great deal.
 
Hmm...I don't know who would call in Junk but the work amazing for me and it perfect to carry around in my case. These may be different but for $11.00 they are the best scale out there... I've using them on a regular basic and so far have no problem with them. The only problem was that I didn't know how to use it initially because I thought the cover was the scale but after you remove the cover...it work perfectly...LOL. I'm sure that what the other person probably did as well..just need to remove the cover that protect the scale.

Regards,
Duc.

Indeed. Those $11 scales work absolutely fine. I bought three and they all indicated the exact same weight (after I removed the lid like Duc;) ).

Ooops!!!

Well, I just fished out the one I threw in the garbage yesterday:confused: . It was the replacement for the first one they sent. :eek: And yes, absolutely, it does work fine once the cover is removed, LOL. Man, I hate old age!
 
Anyone want more of these 'made in China' scales that work so well? :-) Sorry couldn't resist. But seriously if any AZers want to get some quantity of these let me know and I can look around.

two words - harbor freight

That is where I got mine, and a caliper, for under $20, and they both seem to work fine. Of course, all of the stuff is from Asia, but it is INEXPENSIVE. I won't say CHEAP, because it works well, and has all the quality I need - The price is right.

I wonder if the freight will be carrying cases soon.....LOL

You guys are all killing me this morning. I thought only I had bad brain farts.
I too have recently bought scales from an ebay store. They had them in like 4 colors , bought the black one and it works great. My old set was shot , so I gave em a try. They were like 30 bucks also. Great deal on a very accurate scale.And the cool thing about it , had no cover to be removed before use! LOL
Thanx,
Jim Lee
 
Okay.. now I have the best of both worlds

Ahhh. I see it wasn't junk... just operator error except for one person that said their first one didn't work but the replacement did, and another post I can't find right now but was not happy at wasting their money. Maybe they should include warning instructions to remove the cover stuck to it or something for such a common repeatable mistake. So I retract the junk statement. Happy???

So I just ordered one of these little pocket scales so I now have one for strictly weighing lightweight items anywhere and one for saving money on shipping from home. I forgot to mention the My Weigh 7001DX, which has more new features than any other scale in it's weight class, was selected as the best scale to buy. It is also accurate to 1 gram not a .10 of a gram. Please show me a person that can tell the difference in 1 gram when holding a cue. The 29.95 price is the best I have found anywhere and others are selling it for $40 -60. If I had it 2 days ago I could have saved $5-6 on International Priority Mail postage for a packaged cue case I shipped overseas by printing the postage at home. That is something you can't do with the $11 wonder. So, I figure the My Weigh will pay for itself in a reasonable amount of time with savings in postage. First person that rains on my parade for using the post office instead of Fedex or UPS, please kindly send my buyer the difference in $58 for Priority International and the other guys $150+ and I will laud your comment.

ps. Why is it that every time someone tries to do something nice for others here, somebody has to bounce in on the thread and piss on their post?? My post was never about a pocket scale, but saving money on the best available multi-use scale for use in cues and billiards sales transactions. Last time I checked most require shipping to complete the deal and this scale will help do that plus more with all of it's accessories and features. So there! Thhhppp. I can't figure out how to do raspberrries in text.:-)

Oh, and if you really tick me off, I will send my Rack Girls to pay you a visit!

I could be way off here but . . .

Maybe cause your SN is "our_auctionguy" and you've posted , now 2 times in this thread , what seems like an obvious complete full on spam info ad to sell the scales I'm guess is actually you . . . on Ebay.

Just a thought. ;)

Apologies if I'm way off , I probably am. :cool:

<---- also uses a $15 HB Scale.

I had been thinking about picking up some kind of scale like this; your post motivated me to look into this one. I googled for reviews of this scale and they were all positive. I just bought the other one this eBay seller had posted. It's amazing how much technology you can get these days for very little money. Thanks for the lead, Larry; I for one doubt there were any ulterior motives here.
 
the cheap ones from deal extreme work perfectly fine i've used it many times and havent had it fail on me yet.
