Mark -

I just ordered a new scale from www.scalesgalore.com.
It cost $135 plus shipping.  The order details are

0723-G / 1731  Chatillon 0723-G Century Series Hanging Scale, 20 lb x 1 
oz, w/CG Scoop

They did prompt shipping and the scale arrived in excellent condition.

I've also previously bought a used hobart scale on ebay for about $100.

I've been trying to find a scale to use at the Farmer's Market for veggies.
Seems the Dept. of Ag. requires a "legal for trade" Class III scale.  All
the ones I've found are really expensive - hundreds of dollars!!  Surely, I
don't have to spend that kind of money to sell veggies at the market, right?
Anyone know where I can get legal-for-trade scales at a reasonable price?

Thanks
