Shipping costs pretty much negate any savings you may get by trying to do it. (also, most sellers WON'T ship to Korea (or anywhere else in Asia)).

| You could try using a reshipper such as shipito.com - buy stuff from Amazon and Ebay and send them to shipito. Shipito will then ship to SK. You can have them combine your packages into a single one to ave shipping costs. |

I assume you have an existing computer and are aware of the electrical differences (obv if you are only spending a year or two in Korea, it makes sense to buy a product that you can use once you are back in USA).
Just thought I'd chuck it out there if for some reason you haven't.
I buy all my appliances from European sellers for the power information and outlet format. |

A lot of ebay shops will ship things to SK and the shipping isn't as bad as others are saying
just recently i bought a PC game and it was only 10$ to ship..compared to 5$ domestic
the only problem would be with customs. products over 150$ will be most likely taxes (15% tax), although they dont check every box and you might get lucky |
