This scale (same model, but with 300/0.01g range) sees daily use and has been calibrated frequently. It's been surprisingly accurate as long as the temperature < 25C.

Thx.

I use a slightly different but quite similar 500 g scale.

FWIW, I cut down a yogurt cup to where it weighs 4 grams.

the scale and cup are so small that I leave them on the foot of my Major, with cup sitting right under the doser.

Easy to mentally subtract 4 grams to get my weight -

Works for me.

I have never figured out how to calibrate the scale, but it seems to maintain its accuracy. A US Nickel weighs 5 grams, and I test it with a few of them.

I'm sorry. That was in 1990. With inflation they now weigh 3.2g.

I bought one and once calibrated, it's dead nuts @ 100 and 500g.
Seems temperature invariant over indoor range.

Actually currently the best BIN price on eBay is even better, $5.70 inc s/h for the 1st one and $5.65 for each addtional!

True, but the $5.70 items are in Hong Kong, not the US.
