Stylus force digital scales


Digital scales from Clearaudio and others range from $200-500. Amazon has 'em for $20. Why cant I use one of these instead and save big bucks?

@lewm I’d not expect their to be any noticeable attraction (we’re talking about .1g of effect which I’m sure you could not feel)

the test id like to run (which I will when I get home) is to load the platform statically with something non magnetic and then bring a magnet close to the scale and see if the weight reading changes I.e. if the magnetic field has an effect on the weighing mechanism itself.  I’ll report back on what I find out
@brf you are totally right. I was thinking about this more during a drive right after I posted, and never corrected. Good stuff.

Wait, wait, wait, Amazon has them for only 20 bucks? Are you serious? Dude, I mean, that's an insane difference, and I don't understand it. Why do we have to pay 200-300 dollars for it, while some companies get it for ten times less? Man, that's not even serious. I won't buy any products from this company from now on. I found a genuinely fantastic scale on Amazon. Check this out https://www.amazon.com/Vont-Smart-Body-Scale-Black/dp/B08XYX8RDR/. I think it's totally worth it. But it's out of stock right now.
