Try myweigh or oldwillknot for scales. It'll depend what increments and capacity you need. I use a cheap 25 pound scale for shipping and rc weights. It is replaced by the ship scale with detachable face.

I picked up a digital postal scale on E-BAY for 20 bucks.....Reads in 1/100 of oz. up to 15 lbs.....It also has a function for metric, but I've never used it....Pat

I second the www.saveonscales.com

I purchased two scales. A 35 lb scale for larger items, and a 200gram scale accurate to .1 gram for smaller items.

For what it's worth to you, I picked up a digital food scale at Wal-Mart in the kitchen wares dept. If I remember correctly it was $18 and some change. I don't remember the range or the resolution right off hand and I'm at work right now so I don't have access to the specs. I can tell you that I use it for all my R/C building and it will indicate weights within a few tenths of an ounce or a gram or so of the manufacturer's specs on things like motors and ESC's. As for it's minimum ability it will weigh a penny in both ounces and grams, so that's good enough for me.

That looks like a great buy, what is the resolution. I have a similar one from Radical R/C but it is limited to 22 oz (.035oz resolution) 600 grams (0.1 gram resolution).
