I have an old phone but no battery charger. do current stores keep those in stock for old phones for some odd reason?
If not, how could I go about picking one up? |

They sell old chargers in the underground walkway that runs east from Tongdaemun as well as in Tongdaemun in the flea market area. |

Its an LG ki-coco (not sure on that spelling). - very small phone created about 5 years ago and taken out of production around 3 years ago.
I went to Dongdaemun for a few hours wandering aimlessly but didn't stumble upon any. I later went to about a half-dozen LG stores which laughed at how old the phone was  |

I am sure you will find a charger in a dead-tech bin ...
If you find one I would grab some extra batteries as well ... |

A bin full of dead tech ...
A (container) full of (out of date) technology ...
at Yongsan, and even Technomart they have a lot of used old stuff ...
-Discontinued technology
-Out of Production Technology
Thus "dead"

If all else fails, they will generally recharge it for you at the shops. |
