Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 220158, member: 4552"]Be carefull. Not long ago I too wanted to find a scale that weighed in the .01 or .001 Gram range. I already had one from a long time ago but didn't trust it so I ended up getting a name of a company from one of the coin forums. I looked up that place, found a scale that I thought filled the bill but it was expensive, $97. Sent in for it, got it and was shocked. It was a cheap peice of junk made in China, not worth 10 cents, did not have some of the things on it as advertised, didn't work consistantly at all. I contacted the company and they said to send it back. The product must have been changed without them noticing it. Of course I must pay for additional shipping back and if I want a replacement, pay for shipping again. I finally found a reputable place in my area that sells all kinds of scientific materials, went there, bought a great scale, US made, weighs .001 Grams and cost one tenth of the one I got messed up with previously. Try Jewlry supply companies also. Main thing I feel is if your going to buy on line, check the return policy for who pays if the thing is a piece of junk. Contact seller to see if made in China or someplace like that. If you end up with a scale that is consistantly wrong, not much use.[/QUOTE]
