oh yeah, and where's an example bic camera / yodobashi store? |
How often do you visit Japan? A900's only available late last year.
Can't speak for places outside Tokyo, all the stores I have visited in Tokyo area mark the same price, however, each store may have its own promotion program (see below). I only go to big stores though, maybe there're black market stores I don't know about.
When I was younger and cared about every penny
, I spent hours (well, maybe not hours but it felt like it) bargaining with the salesman for discount. It must have been like more than 10 years ago. I haven't done that since, as I realized I have better things to do with my time. However, if you have
a lot of time like you said, you may want to try, I don't guarantee they'll budge though.
bic camera / yodobashi have membership programs which give you 10% or more as store credit for future purchase. How familiar are you with Shinjuku? It's hard to explain to you how to get there, but I believe they're both close to the west side of the JR station. I believe bic camera is on the northwest side, yodobashi is on the southwest side.
