> p.s. how many SL-C860 did they have at that price, I might need some :) Just one. They often have out a sales flyer for just one day (I went in on a Monday I believe), and they're simply trying to draw people into their stores and pass the word around that Sofmap #8 in Akihabara has great used and new product prices. They only had one sale item at that price for every item listed in the three page fold out flyer. I figured I couldn't drop my entire music collection into a 4GB iPod Mini, so tossed out that 16,000 Yen deal (I -should- have been thinking and put it up on ebay for a profit maybe...). I knew the new 4GB Zaurus was coming next month, so tossed out the SL-C860. But really wanted to upgrade from my 2MP Fujifilm F401, so got the F450 cheap in the end. Anyways, -MUST- try to stick to a budget and not visit Akihabara too many times in one trip to Tokyo (it's already been 5 times in two weeks! bad, dave! bad!) -- place just sucks techies IN for HOURS! I was just there again yesterday to check out prices, but didn't see anything at a good price. The sharps they had were back up to standard prices, so were the F450 (back up to 37,000 Yen from 32,000 sale price). Anyways, maybe they'll have another sale Monday? or next month? or the moment the new SL-C3000 comes out? I've already seen some depression of SL-C860 prices along the streets of Akihabara vendors, so they've already dropped the prices about 5,000 Yen or so between yesterday and the first week I got here. lots of places also have the ad banners up now for the SL-C3000, so they have them for sure in their backrooms or warehouses. Just happily sitting on them until the 'official' release date. I'd call up the Sofmap #8 store to see when their next sale is -- (for those that don't know. Exit Akihabara station on the correct exit. Correct meaning you look all around and up and only see huge buildings covered with super-bright shop signs blinking sales like crazy. You will be at the corner of the L where two streets come to meet at the Akihabara exit. One will head north/south, the other east/west. The north/south street that will quickly end at a T intersection is the one you want, and will have the Sofmap on the opposite side of the street). anyways, they had a good sale - blew out of their super-cheap iBook notebooks as well, so only expensive used macs left. they also blew out their Sony U50s for about 110,000-120,000 and now only have them for 130,000+. Great sale for anyone looking for bargains, so if you're in TOkyo, Visit or call them up for their next sale date! ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
