Do this long enough and you can guess package weights down to the ounce... that's reseller-loser-druid, level 6. 

God mode is wrapping all your ToyCentric packages with the free eBay shipping tape.

I am stuck at level 5.  I can only estimate package weight down to .25 lb / 4 ounce without a scale

It looks like the buying rush is winding down. I only spent 2 hours this morning packaging as supposed to 3 hours each weekend night :drag:

either that, or I've sold out of all the trending items... I haven't decided which yet.

I do expect it to wind down once retail stores are open again, and then another bump down when Amazon returns to somewhat 'normal'.

For sure. I haven’t tried skirting the system. So far I’ve just used a bathroom scale to estimate shipping costs and then paid the actual at the post office. I’ve just never printed my own labels at home. 
 

assuming I should skip the bathroom scale and get a decent package scale. Any reccos? 

Are you taking the sets into the bathroom, or did you bring the bathroom to them?

Prices so high...are folks doing, planning, or thought about selling their private collection pieces..and hoping to buy back when prices tank due to The recession/normal?

basically day trading w/ LEGO sets

 

Just sold a used Ninjago City for $350 plus ship....tempting to offload my pristine boxed set from my personal collection

that's the first one that popped up for me as well. it's good for large packages as well? oh say a millennium falcon? must have some sort of memory function i suppose so you can see it after you remove such a large box?

They all have a “hold” button that locks the weight on the screen when you remove the box.

I'm wondering the same thing. I bought a Ninjago city & City Docks last Black Friday for personal collection.  $1000 combined is a tempting notion if I can pick them back up for half that later this year.

That's the scale I currently use. It's great.

this topic was on another thread year ago...I got this one ( version w/ reader on a wire [for large boxes]) based on the recs for it...never did me dirty

a week ago, I "skimped" on postage resulted in both the package being crushed and the post office charging my buyer the difference...in my case it was a couple BHz (poor Harry, always gets the shaft)...so instead of just being out the $2.50 in shipping, I had to refund $10 for the crushed box...to appease buyer...which I thought was reasonable at the time.

No guarantee the price will come down and you won’t get around to building it anyway. Sell.

For bigger packages (e.g. Amazon inbound shipment boxes), get the same company's other scale with a detached display for only $6 more. It's almost impossible to reach a "hold" button under a big box on a scale that's like 2-3" off the ground unless you have the scale (and the box) on a table.

for cheapskates like me, I place a couple spent rolls of packing tape as supports between the scale and the box, and then zero/tare the scale.  This gives me 3" of clearance or so and I can then see the scale reading.

I use my bathroom scales for large packages in 2 steps: 

1. Weigh myself without the package

2. Weigh myself holding the package

Subtract 1 from 2 and there is your package weight. Downside: A painful reminder of my own weight.....

this is what i've been doing. any advantage to having a "package scale?" maybe a bit more precise?

In my opinion, a precise scale only matters if you are shipping a lot of light packages, less than 1 lb for cheaper USPS First Class package rates and generally less than 4 lbs for the general line separating USPS Priority Mail from being cheaper than FedEx/UPS Ground rates. Even USPS First Class rates are split every 4 oz but the differences can add up quickly for a lot of packages where 1 oz makes a difference (e.g. up to $0.92 between 12 and 13 oz on a $5 charge). 

For large packages the dimensional weight charge will outweigh the actual weight since LEGO boxes are a lot of air. For example, I sent Amazon a 22x16x16 package of small sets and the actual weight of the box was 23 lbs but the UPS dimensional weight ending up being a charge of 30 lbs so being precise to a 1/10 ounce makes no difference.
