Could anyone recommend any places in Seoul where I could
buy 2-way radios (walkie talkies)?

It's not often I go to Seoul so I was hoping I could find a good place that sells them. Since Korea doesn't have places like Best Buy or Future Shop anything like that, and places like Emart, Lotte Mart, Hi-Mart have almost ZERO selection to choose from, I'm hoping there's some places in Seoul that have 2-way radios.

My guesses are: Costco, Techno-mart, or one of those giant department stores?
Anything else?
Thanks

You could always try G market or AmazonGlobal. That might be the best bet.

Scroll down to skip childrens' toys until you get to the real stuff.
But a lot of the listed products are in fact overseas orders.

oops forgot to mention I already have checked Gmarket and have a couple in mind, but I'd love to see them in person and possibly demo them in person so I'm looking for an actual store that sells them.

Thanks.

Yongsan. Behind the station, there are probably a dozen stores that have them. In the Jeonja Land building, I've seen a few and on the road up to it, there are two or three.
