Watch out for the 10/10s if you want ro make sure and get a US made one as they are made in china now. The only way to tell is look on the box. On the scale bottom it still says made by ohaus new jersey. I think tou should be able to get a decent US made 10/10 or M5 for 80 to 100- mabie a little more for a real nice one.I need a good scale. I used a RCBS/Ohaus 505 for years, but literally lost it in a move. I do not want anything made overseas and have been looking on Ebay at the 10-10 series thinking I should move up since I have to buy anyway.
So, what should the value of one be?

I actually see a Scott Parker scale listed in the classifieds. But I can't really justify the $190 price because I don't reload at that level of accuracy. I tried to buy a really nice 10-10 Ohaus/RCBS last night. It started out at $89 and I bid it to $125 shipped, but it sold in the last 5 minutes for $166 shipped. Others, in nice shape are listed with a buy it now in the range of $150 - $225. People watch them and the bidding war starts at the last few minutes. I am thinking that I will go with a nice Ohaus made 5-10 as they are reasonably priced.
Thanks very much to all.
if didnt get a scale yet ill add that the selling on ebay went in cycles when I was buying scales. Like Earl says if you wait awhile youll probably find one.I need a good scale.

You won't go wrong with a good RCBS 5-10... They are just as accurate as the 10/10. They use exactly the same beam (Interchangeable). They use exactly the same knife edge/floating agate bearing set-up. They have exactly the same "approach to weight" system as the 10/10...AND - Every single 5-10 was manufactured in the USA, unlike the 10/10's, 5-0-5's or Dillon Eliminators.
