Harbor Freight has this scale for $10.99. I bought one; weighs my 50 gram test weight right on the money Harbor Freight # is 97920, but it's not on their website
It is in their last mail flyer.
BUT!!!!
There is a hole in it; in grains it weighs only whole grains, no tenths.

You need 0.01g resolution at least to get .1gr, and even then you get rounding errors.

0.005g or 0.001g resolution would be better.

Its going back. Got 2 electronic scales already, couple of balance scales, one old Redding, about 50 years old. Bought it at a fire sale, still the most accurate one I own. But I do like the speed of the electronics.
