First post on OzBargain!
Went to my local Harvey Norman in Waurn Ponds to pick up a cheap set of scales and came across a set for $9 (marked price $29.95).
This is only at the Waurn Ponds store and there are plenty in stock.

Just head over to an electronics shop (Jaycar, Altronics) and get a triple A (AAA) switched battery holder and solder it to the main PCB.
2xAAA Panasonic last me over 1 year.
Mate, do you have a link or description of product? I didn't know if there was an option to use AAA.. If I need to buy a solder and stuffs, is that worth in terms of ROI?
Its only good if you already have a soldering iron and some solder at home.

Never seen electronic scales that are accurate.
I'm literally about to give some away for free if anyone wants them. They state you as lighter by 2.4kg :p
Save yourself the grief and get spring based scales from big-w for $9.
These have been on Ozbargain before. Still got mine from about 2 years ago, going fine on same batteries
Yep, bought same for $9 about a year ago.
Seems everyday price
If I had this I'd keep thinking, "what if the glass broke and went through my feet".
If it went through your feet, would you weigh more because of the glass? Or less because of the cut? We should buy 2 just to test.
bought this from HN from last deal .Good price and quality.The spring one which i bought from bunnings was crap.

I just bought this a month ago. It uses the small button cells and doesn't last more than a month. I would not recommend.
