Hello: I bought a digital postal scale, brand new off ebay for about $25 a couple of years ago. IT goes up to 10 lbs I think. I havent roughed out any bowls that weigh more than 10 pounds yet. The digital readout is nice because Iused it to estimate shipping on a lot of ebay items that I sold. It saved a lot of trips to the post office. If I remember right there were a lot of them to pick from on ebay at the time. Jared

>I recently got a 50# new one delivered from Ebay for about $30. It weighs to 0.1 or 0.2 ounces as I recall, and matches the post office almost exactly when I mail things. The high volume sellers use a shipping service so the shipping cost is a little higher than you might first expect, but still worth it.

>Got one on ebay for $7.00 plus 12.50 shipping. look for digital or postal scale. I purchased the 35#. You need to be persistent because some of the bids get inot ht e$14 range. Shipping seems to be somewaht standard for all of the offerers. One though is $14.50 so check the full price. I received the adapter as well as battery with mine.
