Several months ago I bought a basic ~$20 digital pocket scale (100 g capacity, 0.01g precision) and it worked fine for a while.

Recently it started to give am error message on start up and then a constantly changing weight, even with nothing on the scale. Trying to tare or calibrate does not help.

I wrote the manufacturer about the problem and never got a response. I guess they can't be bothered with customer service on their low end products.

I'd be interested in hearing suggestions on scales that have the same precision (0.01g) or better (0.001g) with a minimum of 100g capacity. I'd like to keep it well under $100 but haven't seen many scales that meet these requirements.

Contact me off list

Thanks
