What MaxLords said is right (Hi Max - it's Paul).

When I meant "you need a full day to go through Akihabara" that's b/c you literally need to go through every store, take mental notes (or real ones) figure out who's got what the cheapest, then go back and buy.

I saw two mint/complete Sapphire's last week in Akihabara, but there was a $200 price difference between the two.

Too many times I've paid $20 for something, and walked down the street and seen it for $8. There's also the mis-priced stuff, which rarely happens, but when it does, it's worth it.
