Just how accurate is that postage scale?

Just got the notice that my new sunglasses have shipped. 

I mean, you know, you've got to allow for packaging, etc.

While we're on the topic of postal scales, I've had terrible luck with well-reviewed units that work for a few months and then go wonky.  I swear the next one I buy will be a beam balance and a set of reference weights.

Knock on wood, my Amazon one has been doing okay. Let me find the make/model. 

My postage scale: Amazon Basics Stainless Steel Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display, Batteries Included. Looks like it's now $8.51.

$8.51!??  What am I, made of money?

LOL.  Nice.  Yeah, that's a small fraction of what I paid for the last POS Postage scale I bought.  Thanks!

I'm starting to like Amazon Basics stuff.  The last thing I got was a 58mm filter for the lens of my Yashica rangefinder.

A nickel weighs 5 grams, a stack of nickels makes an easy reference weight.

What if the only nickels I can find are dated between 1942 and 1945 inclusive?

I know, my budget was $7.81 but I was feeling flush. :)
