Looking to but a Korean/English dictionary. (Hopefully from someone on this board.)

If not, where is the best place to but one? How much do they run?

Got a regular one for 30 bucks - have to check that hubby hasn't sold it yet. You might be able to pick it up in Haebangchon.

Really? These things are all over. Hi-mart, Lotte Mart, E-Mart, Namdaemun, Yongsan...the list goes on. The cheaper ones are just the simple e-dictionaries. As the price goes up you'll see such features as speaking, other laguages, DMB, PMP, more memory capacities, and ones that are more similar to a netbook than a dictionary.

I'd suggest going to Yongsan and checking them out. Figure out which one you want. Then, order it online through G-market or auction.

I have one to sell. It's a Sharp RD-400. It has served me well. Still in very good condition, and very small and compact size. I'll sell it for 40,000 won including shipping to wherever you are. I'm in Masan, near Busan, so pickup is probably not feasible. BTW, I still have the original box and manual for it too, though the manual is in Korean.
