The people I know who do this have large warehouses full of junk they
can't
sell, or even identify. That's how I bought my load cells for ~5% of
their
original price.


who do what "this"? sell to me? or who do what I do?

if the formr, i agree 100%.

i may regret having sold that quincy very soon.

I've bought from most of the second-hand machinery and electronics dealers
within ~100 miles and crawling through some of their warehouses is like
sneaking through concertina wire, but slower. I couldn't initially get
within 15 feet of the South Bend lathe I bought because of all the 9" lathes
packed like cattle against it.



They 'herd' that you wanted it. ;-)
