Besides eBay, where would one likely find a digital scale say up to 200 gram?

I mean in a brick and mortor store, not online. (though I will check this out too.)

I want to weigh my bridges. The ebay scales are really cheap online, but shipping is often double the scale price.

I picked mine up at Linens N' Things for 22 or 29 bucks.
Its a kitchen scale that weighs in full grams. For tenths or hundredths, I would imagine you'd have to dig a little deeper in the pocket book.
I used mine to weigh System 3 Epoxy and the mix came out perfect, so I can only assume its accurate.
Its a salter brand.
Good luck.j.Brown38693.0886574074

Great! Got a LNT 3 miles away. Is it the "Salter" brand one with 5 lb capacity, and no conversion to grams?

Otherwise keep the input coming...

You can find electronic scales at the larger office supply chains such as Staples, Office Depot, Office Max, etc. Small businesses still need to weigh letters to determine postage and the small scales are just the trick.

Salter model #2006. Max capacity 5lb. Nice compact design, stainless steel and plastic. Simple but effective, and one of the cheaper ones out there that doesn't look like a pile of junk.

Any gun stroe should have sets of digital scales we use them for checking powder measure settings, all the big reloading suppliers have them.

I got a digital postal scale at Walmart for a reasonable price. Goes to tenths of an oz, and I think you can switch to grams. Check in the dept where they have shipping supplies.

These little scales are sure handy for mixing epoxy and making sure the resin and hardener are in the right proportion.

My preference is to use the triple beam balance. I got one for around $70 and find it rugged, accurate and versatile. I can weigh everything from small amounts of hide glue to an entire guitar.
