| Postage Meter Wanted I am looking for a postage meter. The USPS website has one that is fairly reasonably priced, but every time I log on and click on buy I get a message that the site is temporarily unavailable. The meter I was looking at weighed up to 10 lbs., had the tare feature AND was under $40.00 I have searched the web over and can't find one that compares......ideas anyone? |

| How are the scales kept accurate? Don't they have to be....oh shucks can't think of the word. CALIBRATED! If so how do you do that? |

| I'm not sure about calibrating -- I will have to read the instructions when the one I just purchased from ebay arrives. THANK YOU TO Yorkie3, JeanieK and Shanatink! |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I got mine from EBay and I got the scale for like 10.00 but shipping was 15 I think. I will check and see if it will still show me. It was a while ago. It weighs up to 55lbs and has a letter holder and tube type package holder as well w/it. Also the scale and the front where it tells you the weight come apart and just have like a phone cord so you can have it put in a corner and still weigh things. Its real light weight too. about 10"x10"x4 1/2" Its called an Ultra-55 or ultraship 55 the logo says My Wiegh. It does Grams, Oz, KG and Lbs. It also auto resets to 0 each time you turn it on so say you want to put a bowl of fruit on but only want to weigh the fruit. You put the bowl on, hit the on. it will show 0 then add the fruit to know the weight of the fruit. Its real cool. For a while being the blonde I am I couldnt figure out why my readings were off then I saw the tiny button on the side to change to lbz instead of KG LOL can we say together DUH!! The only drawback was that it was one of those freight shipping things so it took about 10days to get here. I reall like it though

| I know this is very late response but Kern's scale is the best. I know someone who bought it for several years now and have no problem with it. They say that it is very accurate. Here is the link where he found it: Digital Scales - Scientific and Industrial Quality Scales - Kern |
