You want a digital scale for What??

Weighing 99.99% pure gold jewelery creates a substantial market for these small scales in East Asia, but there are many other uses. There are some kitchen scales with a small secondary scale like this integrated next to the main pad, to allow precise measurement of things like a few grams of yeast or herbs.

Counting parts. Instead of counting hundreds of parts as an idiot, weight one (or a few for better precision), then weight all of the parts, calculate total number number.

I have a few smaller ones that I use to measure how full my small nitrous bottles are. I have an old balance in the lab that I use to measure clutch parts.
You can also use them to measure torque.

You hit the nail on the head. Street-level dealers often carry these.

That's legit, but the problem for me was that I forgot how to tell my scale to enter counting mode. Something about putting 25 parts down first but if you don't know what to press it's quite cryptic and I lost the little 2cm x 2cm "manual".
lesson: always scan whatever papers you get asap!
