sudsnwicks Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 3 months is not a very long time - hope you are able to get a replacement. My scale was bought from there too, so far no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth-VT Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Oh man that sucks!! I'd be in serious panic mode w/o my scale. Got mine from Old Will too, 'bout 2 years ago, no probs. Hope they can help... quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heather_dw Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 still no response..how long does it take to hear from this guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Sure doesn't take long when you buy, I know mine shipped out the same afternoon I bought it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnhorsemom Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I got my scale from him too. The plug in never did work so I just always used a battery. I am not so sure that this scale is really accurate either. I will be pouring something in a bowl and it will say one weight then I stop pouring and it changes so I am never to sure what the correct weight is:rolleyes2 Guess I should have just bit the bullet and spent the money on a good scale instead of trying to get a "deal" on Ebay.

Scented Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I'd say if you don't hear from him by this evening to email him again or try to find a way to call him. He's pretty quick about sending, that's for sure. He's also a pretty honorable eBayer too, so I would think he'd respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Here's his regular website - call!http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I got mine from him too, about 6 months ago. No problems though. That really sucks. He seems to be a pretty good guy. It was a holiday yesterday too, so maybe he was not working? I'd give him until tomorrow, then try to call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some scales circuits are closer to the top and touchy to heat, they will do exactly what you're saying. Try putting a paper plate (I use the Chinet type since they are thicker) on your scale then your container, and pour. Bet you won't have any problems.

Jcandleattic Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I have 2 from him (bought an extra one as a back up) have been using the original one for 3 years now, and it's still going strong. I haven't even opened the other one yet. I would go to his reg site that Robin posted and call.. His customer service was top-notch when I bought mine, but that was a long time ago..

SatinDucky Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I am not so sure that this scale is really accurate either. I will be pouring something in a bowl and it will say one weight then I stop pouring and it changes so I am never to sure what the correct weight is You must have the same model as me Mine has always done that too. For some dumb reason, I thought it was normal. Definately aggrivating. I discovered taring doesn't work either because it does the same thing. I can tare with my pyrex measuring cup on it, pour a certain amout of oil into it. Then when I pour the oil out into the main bowl, leaving just the measuring cup, I get a negative number... grrrr. Though in my case, it has nothing to do with heat, since most of what I weigh is not hot. I did see in the instructions to let it sit a couple seconds after turning it on to let the electonics warm up before weighing... that doesn't help either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiptooth Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 OOh, that's a bummer. I bought mine from him also through ebay almost 2 yrs. ago and no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
