Can anyone tell me where I can find some hair clippers in Busan?

I am in the PNU area and all I can find are electric razors, which seem rediculously overpriced, btw.

Is this a homeplus item?

Help is appreciated.

In Korea it's surprisingly NOT a HomePlus (or Emart) item. I checked.

You'll get one in a 'mom & pop' type hardware/houseware store. You'll just have to get out and walk the streets. They'll cost around 30,000 or 40,000.

Don't know Busan very well so can't give you any specfic directions.

1. Any little store that's packed with imported goods (mostly japanese) that you can find in almost any local market. I haven't seen a street market without one.

2. Mega Mart (usually much bigger than Homeplus)

3. Ask a korean who has either Auction or Gmarket account to have it shipped to your place.

Thanks.

I actually did find them at an E mart. They were well hidden and they only had one kind for 50,000 and I went for it.

What about the electronics market in Seoul?

Try buying from ebay.

It was a Homeplus item at one point; however sometimes the electronics department is sequestered from the regular supermarket.
