Recommend me a set of scales?
 
I've got some kitchen scales that do up to 5kg, and some bathroom scales which are OK for weighing something the size of an actual person, but a big gap inbetween. Most scales that can deal with 20kg or so seem to be for professional use and very expensive- can anyone recommend a reasonably priced (ie, cheap) set of decently accurate scales that'll do... Oh, 10kg at a minimum but 20kg would be better... I've become obsessed with the weight of things :)

The weight of what things?

cauldrons?
Socket sets?
Barbells? (clue- the weight is written on the side!)
St Bernards?

Or are you planning a Himalaya mission and need to load your rucksack for training?
