    Good Find C-Bag, hadn't seen these B4. The specs/functions look pretty good and actually think the scales look well built and enclosed with flex metal cable jackets. Ya just never know about repeatability which to me is an important spec that generally only the upper end ones give. It may be caused by the scale interface to glass or the readout...diagnostics would be tough. Also keep in mind the scales are 5.5" (141mm) longer than your travel for mounting them so scout where/how to mount them. The other thing is the reliability of the interface...it's probably a long wait for replacement or service and the only guarantee is "Your satisfaction is guaranteed", what ever that means, but Ebay does and will assist and for how long...whose noseż

    All in all for ~$200 to the door is a great price for 2 axis glass scales and lots of toys on the display. Think it comes down to finding a lot of what others are saying about these, seller and ask about the guarantee in writing before purchase and if they have calibration specs and a manual. 2 - 5* on Amazon, different seller. 1 -2* on the 3axis.

    Quite a broad range of categories in his store also...from blowup bouncers to jewelry ring stretchers...Guess you pays your money and takes your chances.
