I bought an electronic scales like that on eBay... 10 years ago I think.
I still have it and use it all the time. I was pleasantly surprised
by how how accurate it is. Sometimes you do get what you pay for, even
without a recognizable brand name to back it up.

(BTW, a lot of great American brands are all that's left of old
companies -- like Westinghouse, for instance. The companies went out of
business a long time ago. Somebody obtained the rights to the brands,
and they slap 'em on cheap imported crap)
