We just keep getting bigger, and bigger!

Even if you frequent Old Will Knott Scales a lot, you still might not notice that we are constantly adding new scales to our site. Our hope is that when you do stop by, we have the scale that you need. Over the last year we've added many new scales...

First up is the Citizen CZ-1202 NTEP precision jewelry scale. With the cz1202 you can weigh gold, gems, metals, and jewels with 100th gram precision. Also you receive $200 off until April 29,2011 4pm Mountain Time. How cool is that.

Next is the Citizen MP3000 table top digital scale. A huge 3000 gram capacity, 0.1 gram resolution, and four different weighing modes (grams, ounces, troy ounces, pennyweights).

Another great scale that we've added is the A&D FX-3000i table top high precision scale. This is a beast of a table top scale with a 3200 gram capacity and 0.01 gram resolution. The are 14 different weighing modes. I say again, 14 different weighing alligator modes, that is a massive amount of weighing modes. There are weigh to many features to list here so you'll have to check it out on our site. Just reading through FX3000i's features is fun.

The last scale I'm gonna tell ya about is the My Weigh Verifly. My Weigh redesigned their digital luggage scale and came out with this beauty. Weighing in at less than half a pound and only 5.5" x 2" makes the Verifly the perfect luggage scale to take on the road with you. No more overweight bag fees from those money hungry airlines.

Those were only a few of the scales we've added lately and there are many more. The only way you can see them is by stopping by Old Will Knott Scales and taking a look. Any questions, comments , or concerns, don't hesitate to give us a shout.

To Infinity and Beyond,

Old Will Ain't So Old

Hi Folks!

Thank gosh you don’t have to dust a blog,  because I know it’s been forever since our last post.  Old Will might be pretty old, but he knows the value in getting personal with our customers.  So here we are, cracking our knuckles (especially Shala and Myself.  I know I know, I won’t be able to get my rings on one day, blah blah blah) and bloggin’ it up.  In our efforts to let you, our fans and followers, get to know us better we’ve started a major social media outreach.  Insert whatever miscellaneous and probably insignificant gimmick or special to get you to LIKE US ON FACEBOOK or FOLLOW US ON TWITTER here;).  But seriously, like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter pretty please – we did ask nicely.   This outreach includes, as you may have already guessed, updating our blog DAILY (excluding weekends of course).  We’re going to show you around our offices, introduce you to our friendly warehouse mascot Bobo, and give you a glimpse into the, dare I say, unique minds behind the face of Old Will.  I’m Allison, and despite what the other folks here may tell you, I’m the funny one*.  So, welcome to Scale Tales (formerly known as Old Will Knott’s Blog) !


Until we meet again,

Don't Make A Fool Of Me, Ya Spanish Bariatric Scale

There's this bariatric bathroom scale that we sell, the My Weigh XL-550, that I really like selling. It's a nice tool for heavy folks that are trying to shed some of that dangerous weight they've got going on. I like it because it's WAY cheap compared to most high capacity bathroom scales, but better yet, because it's a real good scale.
This thing sells pretty well for us because it has a great big old platform, and it talks. By talk, I mean it announces your weight out loud (happily, it does have a "shut up" switch that some folks are real happy about).
If you're not a heavyweight that needs a bariatric scale, ya might not get what a blessing this "talking" function is. If ya are a heavyweight, ya probably do get it, because sometimes ya just can't see the dang scale because of that big old tummy. That "talking" function makes this XL550 pretty darn handy.
We sell a bunch of these XL scales because the price of most bariatric scales is so darn high. Seriously, just Google "bariatric scales". You'll see huge prices for these high capacity people scales (including some I sell for over 30 times the price).

I gotta admit... I just hauled off and maybe made a fool's deal. I bought several hundred XL550's that My Weigh (the manufacturer) screwed up on. Well, they didn't screw up on the scale... it works just fine. The thing they fouled up on is thinking that a Spanish speaking scale would sell just as well as their hot selling English speaking model. WRONG, evidently. The Spanish speaking models just sat on My Weigh's shelves. And sat. And sat some more. So, finally, they asked me if I'd like to take them off their hands, at way below their cost. Fool that I sometimes am, I said "Sure. I'll take a chance. I'm in". I figure I can just sell them, for a nice low bargain basement price, as a regular old "non-talking" bariatric scale. After all, it does have that handy "shut-up" switch.
So I hauled off and bought the last several hundred XL550 Spanish speakers that My Weigh had in stock, for way less than they paid to have them made. I'm hoping these Spanish speaking scales don't make a big old fool of me, but really, it sure wouldn't be the first time I guessed wrong. Time will tell, I guess. If ya see these Spanish models on my site a few months from now, you'll know I screwed up. Feel free to yuk it up. Of course, if I do sell 'em... I'll be bragging on it. Let's wait & see.


Until next time,
Will

#1 Rated Bathroom Scale

One of the top consumer products ratings companies, whose name I can't use any more because their lawyers didn't like me using their name, rated the Taylor 7506 their #1 bathroom scale. I really don't know how many bathroom scale models there are in this world, but I do know there's just thousands of them. So for that "consumer products ratings company" to name the Taylor 7506 the number one scale, it's gotta be one heck of a scale. We're one of the biggest Taylor retailers in the USofA, so we already knew that Taylor makes some real reliable bathroom scales, and some real nice kitchen scales, too. But to be top rated, out of all those thousands of bathroom scales? Well, that really takes the cake!
The 7506 got that "consumer products ratings company's" top marks for both accuracy and consistency. I'll tell ya, from years of experience in peddling weight scales, it's that consistency that ya should be looking for in a bathroom scale.
If ya call our support guys when you're in the market for a new bathroom scale, they'll tell ya that whatever scale we sell ya, whether it's a simple 25 dollar scale or a 300 dollar medical scale, that it's probably not gonna give ya the same weight as your doctor's scale, or your momma's scale, or your neighbor's scale. What you're looking for is a scale that gives a consistent reading. I weigh myself in my skivvies, at the same point in the morning (after showering, before eating), every day. If ya do that, and ya have a nice bathroom scale (like this Taylor 7506, for instance), you'll know you're getting a good read on your weight, and you'll have a real good idea of how that newfangled diet or workout regimen is working for ya.

Until next time,
Will
