people underestimate the power of eBay... i'm tellin you right now you'll find the most amazing deals on ebay for ANYTHING.... and yes the reason why they charge so much for shipping and basically nothing for the scale is because eBay takes a percentage of the final PRICE not including shipping... so instead of ebay taking 8% of $26 they only get 8% of $7. Saves the store a ton of money in the long run...
