does anybody know where to find a used Nikon Flash in Seoul? Are there used camera shops at the techno market?

If not, where are all the new camera shops!!!

Cheers

there are loads and loads of used camera shops in Seoul.

If you go to Gate 1 of Namdaemun market and then walk towards myeong dong (be outside the entrance to the market with the old gate at your back, turn left, walk around the slight corner) you'll go past several.
If you keep on going until you get to the department store, then go downstairs to the underpass there's a fascinating little underground shopping centre selling loads of camera stuff (and old 33s, souvenir olympic medals, all sorts).

Or auction.co.kr is the korean e-bay and great for old camera stuff, I think you need a korean national ID to bid though.

North side of Namdaemun market. Some really great stuff: those Olympus 16 mm SLRs that replaced the little Roliflex things James Bond use to use in the movies. You can get those there too if you want to copy some documents in the office at night!
They have all sorts of assorted used stuff. Old Hasselblads etc. It is worth going just as a sort of museum.
