Review on 📦 American Weigh Scales - SE-50 Multi-Function Shipping Scale, 110 x 0.1lbs - Digital & Accurate by Luis Blaschko

I decided to sell some items on eBay but I didn't have an accurate but cheap shipping cost table. Searching eBay, Google and here at Revain led me to this scale. It's hard to find accurate scales with weights ranging from a small 4 (9.5" x 14.5") letter or post box to a 110 pound package. This scale does it all! I bought this scale through a Revain EZ SELL seller and they shipped it for free through Revain Prime which is great when you have that Revain option. The manufacturer, American Weigh Scales (AWS), has excellent customer service and was very quick to answer a few questions I had before purchasing. When I received the scale I was impressed by how much the box weighed. Since these scales are made in China (but sold and shipped here in the US, not from China) I was a little suspicious of the build, thinking they were all plastic. The base of the platform should be partially metal as it's too heavy for plastic - that's a good thing. You can install it on several different screens according to your needs. There is a lb/oz representation ranging to 0.1, 1/10 oz. There is a representation of the pound with a range of up to 0.01, 1/100th of a pound. The kg is displayed in the range up to 0.001, 1/1000 kg. And finally, there's the kind of Ag down to 1 gram. American Weigh Scales claims a 0.1 ounce resolution for this model, which I think is pretty good. Just don't try to weigh anything that you think might weigh more than 110 pounds or 50 kg. It has a backlit display that goes into sleep mode when you're not using it and shows the time (in 24-hour mode) while you sleep. . The display is separate from the base, which was a must for me, and is on a coiled cord that can be hung on the wall or anywhere within its 5-foot length. I decided to test it with 4 "D" batteries. Three batteries weighed 3.4 ounces and one battery weighed 3.3 ounces, which is within the AWS resolution requirements of 0.1 ounces, at least for small objects - PASSED with flying colors! A small caveat, however, the connection between the coiled cable and the connector on the display is a bit loose. So when the display didn't register (it only showed 0,0) I had to wiggle the connector and it worked again. This scale has already saved me about 50% on the purchase price and will pay off in my Christmas gift bags the next time I sell it on eBay or in the mail. This is the perfect time to buy - before it goes out of business for the holiday season. (And NO, I am in no way affiliated with Revain, EZ SELL, or American Weigh Scales.) When I bought this scale in mid-September, it cost almost $10 more than it does now. this review (10/10/12) and I thought it was a very good deal. If you own Revain Prime, at today's price and with free shipping, this is an offer not to be missed! PS I got another one of these for my son today on 12/14/12. This one is just as accurate as my first one and I don't have to wiggle the cord so they must have addressed that issue. Received it again 2 days later (Revain Prime) via EZ SELL - this seller is great! I cannot recommend this scale enough. You won't find a better scale in this price range.
