Who thinks they know where to buy good milligram scales? there use to be a seller on ebay that sold nice digital scales called old don knotts or something but I'm not sure if that seller is still around.

Buy a legitimate scale. http://balance.balances.com/scales/906/ eBay ones are going to be garbage. .0001g is a high resolution. I don't think the ones you'll find on ebay are really sophisticated enough to be trusted.

Hey man, love seeing you posting! You must be thinking of http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/ -- a place I've frequented many times, though in years long past. I cannot speak to their current selection or pricing.

Old Will Knott Scales is a very good place to get scales, it's where I got mine. Proscale is a good brand, I'd recommend to just make sure the scale's battery type isn't the expensive flat, round kind. Haven't had any problems with mine other than wishing it took AA's.
OP has me ignored because he got butthurt one day so I post this for future informative purposes for those who know how to search.

Ive heard this argument before but i dont get it. Ebay doesn't specialize in shitty products. Unless you're ordering from China and the scale is overly cheap i dont see the problem. And even if it is, might still be fine.

Just because the screen reads that far out doesn't mean the number means a god damn thing. I fail to see how potentially risking your life is worth saving a few hundred dollars.

All im saying is it seems silly to rule out ebay completely just because its ebay, as if its impossible for someone to be selling quality products on there.

hey Geo, yeah thats it.
I got my first set of digital scales from them. What I was seeing on ebay seemed to be mostly postal scales though... I'll check the website.

I got a $60 mg scale that reads to 0.000g's, which I calibrate with a 10g weight everytime I use. It's been a few mg's off before, but never more than that, and it could of been particles on the weight.

I had a pretty cheap AWS mg scale, and it always worked perfectly fine. I think it may have missed the calibration weight by like .001 once.
The only reason i see for needing more accuracy is when dealing with things in the single mg range that are very potent and potentially dangerous when off by just a little. I would rather use volumetric dosing for that.

I've been using a "my weight" scale for alloying metals happily for years now. They are priced really well, been completely dependable and they even sent me a new scale, no questions asked when I accidentally burnt it out by overloading.
