I'm not even going there with the "all of it" weight, my scale doesn't have a setting for that...lol. |

Should have used my scale , "all of it" setting comes on automatic without even hitting the power button . |

melhill wasn't the only one who did expariments. she loaded up boxes and weighed them, I went to the forum and went through a bunch of sales searched out a bunch of posts that had medium flat rate boxes. looked for ones with similar sized stones (including the ones I bought). I had no idea but narrowed it down to a 3 pound spread I felt it was in. so I guessed random numbers between 25 and 28 lbs. wrote down everyone elses votes so I wouldn't duplicate.

That was super smart!!! I also narrowed it down to what I thought would be a 3lb margin. My biggest mistake was my scale doesn't do ounces dagnabit!! Haha it was fun though. Glad you won and btw paying her for her shipping cost TOP NOTCH |

Gee I didn't think you would get so serious as to do experiments and research. Pretty impressive. When I do guessing contests I just pick a number maybe I need to rethink my strategy...lol.
I was going to go with guess it to the nearest pound but then thought it would be too easy so I did it as the exact weight I got when I first put it on my scale. Glad I did that, made you all think about it a little.

It is an Accuteck A-ST85C.\ |
