As a temporary measure I bought a scale from Target. Now I'm looking for a replacement.

Any suggestions? I prefer something that won't break the bank (under $70).

I got one on eBay for around 12 bucks.
I'll let you know which particular one when I get home.

How about WAY under $70??

I use this one everyday for weighing out my doses. Lots of other inexpensive choices here:

Thanks for the suggestions.

It doesn't appear that anyone here is afraid of Ebay. I've been punked a few times so I avoid it like the plague. I'll look for the suggested scales elsewhere.

Anyone know anything about the My weigh MX 300?

That Ebay store link is safe. The same guy runs a regular website store that many here have bought from but you will pay twice as much for the same scale.

I bought my last scale from that guy you just mentioned on eBay, John.
Zoey, you won'y get punked by that guy, he's pretty legit and I had some shipping issues and separate damage issues which were fixed right away by that seller. He's one of the good ones on eBay

Yup, I got one of those, too. No problems at all.

I got one from from the same seller as well. No problems, showed up in a couple of days, and works great.

Thanks guys!

I just bought a second one of those for the MCaL work area.

If they get much cheaper you'll be finding them in your Cracker Jack boxes.

I might have to get one of those scales for my old man - he won't admit it but I think he broke the old one by placing too much weight on it!

I went with this one here, Click This.

Its got a 2000gram capacity, reads in .1gr, as well as ounces, and some other stuff.

I use it for:
Weighing doses for shots
Weighing Roast Batch Sizes
Brewing.

I have been wanting a scale that I could use for brewing for so long. Something with enough capacity that I can weigh the water, the grounds, and the vessel. This one does that for my personal brewers.

Seems to have received mixed reviews. I paid about that much for my first scale but it didn't last long so now I buy the cheap ones as the quality seems to be about the same.

I'm still using the old scale from this place:

Like John said on the other scale thread I started a long time ago, you need to go to Old Will's eBay store for the better deals.

Here's the other thread:

This scale gets heavy everyday use, my wife uses it for cooking and baking and it's been flawless ever since it arrived. I wanted one scale for everything: shot dosing, roasting and general kitchen stuff.
