So about 265,000 KRW is what we can expect to pay for a brand new Itouch 2.0 at Costco? Thats not bad at all. Can anyone else confirm if this is still true? Oh, and this may be a stupid question but everything's not in Korean, is it? Thanks!

Well can't really say about Costco, but the 8GB version is selling between 260,000~285,000 on Danawa.com!

Hey Zakuta, what exactly is Danawa? How does it work?

danawa.com is the online resource for yongsan. Most of the stores in yongsan have an online page linked to the website.

It also compares prices for almost any product between the yongsan stores as well as the major sellers, (Gmarket, auction, GSeshop, etc.

The current "low" prices listed for the ipod 2Gs are:

8GB - 255,760
16GB - 338,560
32GB - 453,000

These will more than likely be cash prices (wire transfer) and do not always include shipping (2,500~5,000). Also, there may be only one site with the "low" price and it could involve becoming a member of that site and using a new member 10% discount coupon or something.

If you want to save yourself money and you are willing to jump through some hoops to do it, you can get things pretty cheaply through danawa.

Appreciate the info my dude! Thats actually really helpful. Do you think it would be easier just to find the actual store in Yongsan and buy the product direct instead of online? Or would it even make any difference? Also, I know Im being a pain but could you send me the link for the touch 8GB 2nd Gen?
Really appreciate it man!! THANKS!

i suggest buying from the website, or if going to Yongsan is more convenient to you than its a better option!

Good luck!

Looking at the 8GB, it seems that the lowest price is at Gmarket for 253,690 with free shipping if you take the link from danawa.

For any purchases in Yongsan. It is a good idea to check out the lowest prices on danawa, and then go to that specific store to buy it in person. Sometimes they will cut a little more off the price or throw in a freebie.

If you go in without researching, you could easily spend a day talking to every shop that sells the product at slightly different prices until you find the cheapest deal.
