My folks have these
Baggage Scales

I've had a look through G-Market and the only ones I can find are these ones Gmarket Scales

But they only go up to 23kgs. Not sure what their durability would be like if a 25kg bag got put on them or if they could even take it.

Anybody seen anything like these else where or know if I've missed them on Gmarket.

Would be handy to keep one in my luggage.

You have too much time on your hands to consider buying one of those gadgets. What happened to the tried and tested idea of standing on scales (minus the bag) and jot down your weight and then pick up your bag and then stand on your weight to work out your baggage weight?

Would never bother buying a silly little gadget to weigh your luggage if you can do that in one minute.

What if one doesn't own a scale to stand on, Einstein?

I think the point might have been that the scale you put on the floor and stand on is probably AS cheap or perhaps CHEAPER than the handy-dandy-doo-dad you are asking about. I paid 7,000 won for my scale, and the "stand with the bag, stand without the bag, note the difference" has pretty much always been within 1kg of the airline's scale...and if you need more accuracy than that...well...toss some helium-filled beachballs into your bag

the title of this thread is funny

like one is comparing how much personal "baggage" one is carrying around

I use non-digital fish scales that cost less than $10 and are amazingly accurate. Easy to carry anywhere I travel. I wouldn't pack a single bag over 25kgs anyway so don't have that problem. I do recall however that there was a scale that went to higher weights, but I went for the cheaper option, being that the airline weight allowance is usually 20kgs anyway.
