They have the very thing in many of the Euro² shops, I've seen them there recently. Obviously they cost 2 Euro.

They cannot be digital for that price.....

If you want digital try dealextreme. Picked up one of these myself.

I dont have one, but I'm sure they're a lot more accurate than the ones at the airport

They're analogue dial, not digital BTW.

Argos have them for about 30 euro, got one before my last trip and they work fine. Not that cheap but probably easy to get your hands on fast.

TKmax in Newry had a load of them today £4 each non digital.


Might try a southern TK may have them also.

Workaround: Bathroom scales; weigh self holding luggage; weigh self alone; subtract. Eureka!

Atlantic homecare have manual ones - I think they were EUR15 each. Might be cheaper.

Workaround part deux: kitchen scales with some paper towels on the pannier, then throw your bag on top.
Those digi scales from DX are too sensitive for weighing much above 5 kilos without making sh*t of them.

Cue buggered kitchen scales! Don't think they normally go anywhere near that high, tbh.

Catering ones with a good metal spring do. Probably more people with bathroom scales than one of those in their kitchen though.
Fedvine's first link is a good one, didn't know you could those in digital...
