While a few sellers here still use a hanging scale, the market manager has been discouraging their use as in Wisconsin they are not certifiable.
There are several nice battery opperated scales available from most commercial scale outfits. Many have a rechargeable system that holds a charge for a good long time. I usually only chage mine up once/mt and it's on from 6AM to 2pm every Sat and for about 4+ hours on Wednesdays too.
The only problem with them is that they cost in the $3-400 range. They are totally price computing so you don't have to figure anything out after you enter the price.
You can get some smaller scales for a bit less, but I wouldn't recommend anything that will weigh less than 15 lbs. Most also have a 30 lb model and I have 2 of those. You would be surprised how many times you go over the 15 lb limit, especially if you weigh watermelons.
I'd give you some names and brands but my 3 scales are all in the trucks or the barn right now.
