How can you weigh your scrap at home before you sell it?
Short answer: Bathroom scales are good enough for small amounts if you weigh yourself holding the load and subtract your own weight, and for larger loads you can weigh in batches or use a luggage or platform scale, with the goal being a realistic estimate that lets you sanity-check the buyer's weighing and the price you are quoted.

Weigh yourself, then weigh yourself holding the scrap, and subtract to get a good estimate for small amounts.
Larger loads
Weigh in manageable batches and add them up, or use a luggage scale or platform scale for heavier pieces.
Why it helps
A rough weight lets you check that the weight the buyer records is in the right range and spot any large discrepancy.
