A Bathroom scale that can read 500 lbs.  No tough trick.  Buy two electronic
bathroom scales.  Place one on top of the other leaving only the readout
exposed.  Turn the second scale the opposite way so the readout is on the
other end.  They will each read 250 lbs.  Combine the weight and subtract the
2 lbs or so of the second scale and viola, you have it.  Big friend of mine
used two scales, one for each foot.

Sorry, It won't work. if you load to 250 lbs, each will read 250 lbs, as
each is loaded to 250 lbs.

You can place them side by side, span them with plywood or other
material, & add the readings with the weight centered between them (each
scale is now carrying 1/2 the total weight).

Been there, done that.
