its the tritonT2, it works very good.
i got ripped off, i paid $50 for it and all sites say $20. I was walking down town, and looked in a window and saw scales, and thought hum mine as well, and the store was a store that sells hookah's, bongs, pipes, and other things like that, maybe its not for weighing pennies but it does work good.

| I am surprised that they dont include a 100 gram weight to tare it for that price. I bought a scale at a coin show and paid $20 for it. It has a 150 gram limit with 0.1 gram readibility and measures in grams, pennyweight and two other measures. I found them later on Ebay for $8 and roughly $12 for shipping. Dammit I could have bought a decent condition Morgan Dollar with that $20...oh well. |

Nice store... selling paraphanallia to kids at a huge markup... Surprised you made it in the door. |

| Well, paying more just means you have to use it more! |
Are you throwing that out? |

| I got mine for $20 on eBay (something like $6 + $14 shipping). Says "NEVA" on the front and is supposed to be accurate to 0.05 grams. Build quality seems decent. Works fine for me. |

| Yeah, I just checked the Amazon for scales. The prices seem really low for an electronic device like a scale. I guess the transducer/sensor component are generic enough nowadays. The LCD screens certainly are. I'll probably use my dump zinc at a Coinstar to get the Amazon card to buy one now. |
