Was at RS to pick up some components and ran into this: linky

They are pretty cool; integrate with many major shipping websites, and actually do up to 19lbs pretty accurately.

For people that do a lot of online shipping these are quite cool; they even integrate with eBay shipping.

Have all the usual settings like hold, tare, metric/us and a built in conversion app.

################## URGENT FW MESSAGE ###############

If you are having trouble installing it and are getting the following message (Error 1402 Could not open key:...) , then search for "RichtextCtrl.1\\CLSID, make up of a backup of the two 'main' keys (in the root dir of the registry) and delete them.

Install will work after that! -stisev
######################################

WARNING: The color of the devices in South San Francisco and San Bruno, CA is WHITE, *not* silver like the picture shows. Still, great price! -stisev

Check availability before heading to a store. Print out the web price - the store price may be different (the tag showed 24.97 in the store I got mine. Seems like stores only carry a few of these in stock, so act fast

Scale doesn't have its own readout and must be connected to a PC. Measures in grams (0.001 of a kg) or 1/10th of an ounce. Easy install.

I always estimate the weight with my hand, UPS/FEDEX will not send the package back just because few lbs short on your shipping label.

My experience with UPS is that they always re-scale packages and adjust rates acoordingly. For sure no packages will be returned to you because of weight.

It had no problem measuring a quarter, or an SD card. I wouldn't use it to sell diamonds with, but it seems to go pretty low.

I severely doubt it does grams, but how about differentiating between 1 and 2 ounces?

Description on RS www says it measures up to 10 lbs.

A simple solution for weighty matters.
This USB electronic scale weighs items up to 10 lbs., displays weight, estimates shipping cost and populates weight fields on major shipping websites. It's ideal for small business use and anyone who sells frequently on Internet auction sites. USB-powered so there's no batteries or additional power supply required. Sleek, low-profile design.

Even though the description says 10lbs; It'll measure up to 19lbs just fine. Don't ask why, cause I don't know.

I want to RS to pick it up today. I asked the clerk about this sclae, he told me some bastards (in Cerritos, CA)
picked up FIVE last night. He asked me how many I want, I told him just one.


I am like, why do you need FIVE of these??? Unless you plan to fleabay these? Greedy sobs whoever you are buying a lot of these,
makes the rest of us just want 1 cant' get any.

Yes, they do re-weigh them. I have NEVER had them return $ to me, it's always the other "weigh" around.
