Anyone found a decent pocket scale? Not really looking to be weighing gold or jewerly. But i see a lot of cheap brass whatnots at Goodwill,Yard sales,etc etc. i'm wanting to be able to weigh this stuff,see if its worth buying. maybe in the 2lb capicity range. Anyone have a model you really like or dislike? i think something with a 4x4 plate might work nicely. Thanks.

Does that one require some kind of calibration weight? if so what size?

You shouldn't have any problems finding a 2 or 3 lb. capacity scale. Check the various websites like Walmart, Target, Staples, Office Max, Sears, Kmart, etc. Some are available in stores and some are only available online. It's easy to do, but can be a bit time consuming depending on the speed of your computer.

Check what type of battery it takes. Ive got a few of those type and the one i like most has a button battery so its not rechargeable.
Pawn shops usually have them new for 10ish $.

No its self calibrates. I did buy a 100 gram one though so I could show the people I was buying gold and silver from that it was accurate.Originally Posted by Arkansaw

Look up luggage scale on ebay. The one I have reads to .1 lb increments up to 80 lbs (I think). It is small but you will need a bag to weight some items. Even the plastic grocery bags work good since they weigh next to nothing (not for 80 lbs though). I think if you are not doing gold/silver there is a big advantage to having the larger capacity. I use mine all the time.

LOL. I got a 35 pound Fish scale I use on my boat. Those are pretty accurate and you can put it in a tool box or something, not really big enough to put in your pocket.
