Scale for weighing luggage

Airlines are becoming increasingly strict on charging high fees for over-weight luggage. Often the maximum weight for checked luggage is 50 pounds for each bag. The maximum weight for carry-on luggage is 20 pounds for each bag. Therefore it is important to know the total weight of each bag of checked luggage and carry-on bags.

I have found what I believe to be the best value in an accurate, low-cost scale:

Jennings UltraSport Series Back-Lit Digital Fishing/Hanging Scale

Model: UltraSport 30 (66 lb). The scale has high accuracy. The readability resolution is one ounce. http://jscale.com/product/_ultrasport_series.html

This scale is sold for US$26.90, from www.topnotchscales.com (as of June, 2007).

Size is 5 x 2.3 x 1 inch.
