Also note, the "brand" doesn't matter with these. They are all mass produced in china, and badged to whatever brand the bulk order reseller wants it to be
American weigh
Rite weight
Gram precision
Us balance
Etc
All the same exact scale.
The top scale manufacturers are Tanita, Toledo, O'Haus.

Fuck it. It's only money I went ahead and bought the pe360. For only a little over $100 more then the generic scale I was going to buy no big deal and I'm planning on mixing up alot of oral suspension and with the extra accuracy it will probably save me more money then the extra cost in the long run. Thanks for the help guys

Smart move. Top quality equipment puts you one step closer to a top level set up.
Of course every eBay purchase is a gamble but I think you’ll be pleased.

Now I just need to find a small portable laminar flow hood then I'll be set

That’s the problem my friend. “Portable” and inconspicuous. Hard to explain why you have a flowhood if people see it. There are plenty of those small Chinese ones on eBay. $500 is what you should expect to spend. You want horizontal flow. I have a vertical hood but we just mix and bottle oral in it.
Depending on where you live you should look for local sellers. For example, UC San Diego has a surplus store. I bid on a seriously heavy duty 4’ One with a minimum bid of $350. I don’t need one but I bid $375 anyway (closed bidding auction). I didn’t get it but I would be surprised if it went for more than $500. Probably a $5k Unit.
Here are a couple of examples as to what to look that is similar in your region.
UCSD Surplus Sales Online - Home
Used Lab Equipment for Sale | BioSurplus.com
We will probably buy an HPLC or MassSpec from the latter.

Oh, and you should be able to download an owner’s manual for that scale.
