I'm assuming its just as cheap(er) to buy akihabara things online nowadays
but thought i'd offer
im leaving tokyo on the 2nd, not to come back for a few years,
but ill be going to ALL of western Honshu and Kyushu over the next month,
also: Seoul if you prefer small Korean things
Small stuff only, electronic or not, i have a very small backpack, but
suggest and ill see what i can do.

post script trip report:
spent a few days in a 5-man house they turned into a travel hub with NINE,
couchsurfers/airBnBers spending the night,
party every day, party every night, in 5 languages minimum, massage traded
with a shiatsu pro and learned a buttload of fun new techniques, i met her
by wandering into an italien school that the proprietor had advertised the
party of on meetup.com, but no one spoke english except him, so i had to
speak spanish, and have the most advanced students translate the spanish
into italian, so that i could speak italian to the rest of the 30 people
because my japanese wasnt strong enough, so i used half ass Italo-spanish,
That was fun. Now i'm staying on the 53rd floor of a luxury condo on an
island in the middle of tokyo bay. Couchsurfing is the best. My travel
partner and noisebridger-to-be Panko was given an elephant beetle (size of
your fist)  last night just for walking down an alley in Ueno, i told him
not to bring it into his hostel i was visiting because theyd just executed a
hysterical 5-person operation to kill a roach that had carefullly taken a
stroll through the lobby of (standing on chairs shouting), i didnt think
theyd appreciate a 6-times larger insectoid, not to mention the
Hakune<http://www.extremefunnyhumor.com/pics/Giant_centipede_(Small).jpg>and
Suzumebachi <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_giant_hornet> I see
everytime i leave tokyo for a second, scary shit. i dont blame everyone for
being so squeamish when you have stuff like that

ill be needing a home come early august IN berkeley if anyone wants to
partner up with a place or look for a place together, write me!
