I dont remember who I bought it from but I have this scale and it's worked perfectly.

75 LB DIGITAL SHIPPING POSTAL SCALE POSTAGE LB SCALES W | eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/75-LB-DIGITAL-SHIPPING-POSTAL-SCALE-POSTAGE-LB-SCALES-W-/380239420857?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5888091db9)

I use the USPS scale that they sell. It is a bit more expensive ($40) but can calculate more weight than the average small scale. Most small scales ($20 ones from Wal Mart) can only handle up to 3 pounds. the USPS one does up to 10 pounds. Plus if they ever say your weights are off tell them you are using their freaking scale so shove it.
