Answer
try OldWillknot. He's on ebay and also has his own website. I just bought a scale from him last week, it was cheap and it works great! He has all different "poundages."
Answer
Hi weaim2pleez,
I work for Endicia.
You can use just about any USB supported scale. Also there are some brands like Weightronix, Sunbeam, and Freightmaster that will work with a Serial port connection. You can search for "Scales" in our FAQ for more information on compatibility. We also have a couple Scales available in our Buy Stuff section.
Thanks,
Bodin

Answer
I have a Royal RC40 digital scale that weighs OZ, KG and Pounds. From -1 oz to 40#. It has a serial port to attach to my computer but I use it a a stand-alone.
My postmaster recommended it, and it's been very accurate (I confirm weight with their scale every so often to check).
Answer
I saw those Royals 40 lb scales and thought they look like they may fit what I need, surely they are compatitable with endicia...any good place to buy those other than ebay?
Answer
I got mine at Costco for about $50 but that was a few years ago.
Answer
I love, love, love my RC40. It is soooo accurate, usually within 1/10 oz. I got mine several years ago at a great sale price at Sam's Club. Goes up to 40 lbs. Shortly after that they had another great sale on Royals that had a stand-along digital display that would take up to 100 lbs. I haven't looked recently to see what they have now.
Answer
loveofpast, do you have yours hooked up to your computer to automatically, sounds like i should go with one of these royal scales
Answer
No, I don't have it hooked up to the computer. When I first got it I downloaded all the input from the various shippers but have never used the information to calculate the postage amount. I truly only use it to get the weight of an item after it's packed and use the USPS site and Shipping Assistant 3 after that. I don't have it connected with any postage package. If you google "royal digital scale" you can find their site and they should have a lot more information about what can/can't be done with each model.
