When I started selling at the market, I bought a really nice scale, that was 4 years ago. Then I found out it had to be calibrated annually and registered with the USDA. Both the calibration and the USDA cost money each year. Last year, I decided to try selling by volume only, no calibration or registration required. I couldn't believe how much easier, quicker, and cheaper it was to sell by volume. Give it a try. You'll like it! I sell squash, blackberries, beans, peas (shelled and unshelled), ice cream, honey, corn, and melons.

Hi,

Any reccomendations (make and model) for a digital, "legal for trade", price computing scale that accumulates the total order? Ease of operation, accuracy, and durability most important. Supplier and price info also apprecitated.

Thanks,

Paul
