Long story short, my mom purchased one and the person helping her purchased the other.
I now have this useless piece of metal sitting in my basement and I don't have the heart to tell her that she was ripped off (I think she paid $45 US). Looking at it I can't believe how large the scales are!
I often wondered about the avoid list and if they were really as bad as they are made out to be....
Now I know.
