As it says, I'm in Busan and looking to buy a number of things for this spartan apartment. List follows

Power converter
Bookshelf / chest of drawrs
Big drying rack
Some cookware
Microwave
Bed mattress - *Twin-ish (just under full size frame)
Good Iron with spray (standing board if ya have it, got the mini table top version)

Computer and Flatscreen (prefer Plasma)

So if you're moving out in the next month or so let me know.
Even if its not on the list I'm always on the lookout for about anything that will make the apartment look like more than a white box.

Bump -

Picking up my car this weekend so traveling around in the busan area, even out into the Gyongsang provence will be ok.

I'm looking to re-populate my apartment on the cheap because I plan to leave most of it for the next guy, or gal.

Just an update for others out there:

Really looking for some storage furniture, bookshelves, those cheap file cabinet style chest of drawers etc. Even those "open closet" racks work.

If you can pay for shipping, this might be a good deal.

Quite a distance, and all I need is the storage now.
Plus I wouldnt trust someone to ship a USB from a forum site, or craigslist.
Good luck though.

Oh, it's not me. I'm helping my friend look for a sofa and saw this ad and figured it might help you out. If I come across anything else I'll be sure to let you know.

Cool indeed, thanks for the help.
Its so easy to find the standard iron, crummy TV, rice cooker and generic stuff. I can never find a standing lamp over 30 inches tall (like one you put behind the sofa) or decent storage within driving distance.

You in Busan also? I can keep an eye out for couches. I'm going to try the second hand shops near the univesities this weekend.
