Thats just the way I felt wandering around Akihabara for the first time back in 1980 and realising just how much profit Dick Smith was making.
Every time we went to Akihabara for the day (ca. 1970), we always wound up in Shinjuku. ;-)

Tokyu Hands is my favorite store in Tokyo. Originally in Shibuya (sp?) but there's a location in Shinjuku.
Roppongi is cool too.

"Atmel, Intel, Broadcom, Samsung, Yamaha, Sony, AMD, Fujitsu,..."
How would you know they are legit, not cheap pirates, prior to purchase?

You would investigate.
Good Luck! Rich
Yep, saturday morning was for wandering around Akihabara, usually ending up at the Joy Plaza which was not what it sounds like but a rajikon (radio controlled model) shop. Then later on the Chuo line to Shinjuku for a visit to the Yodobashi and Doi camera shops, maybe ending up at Toku Hands in Shibuya.

Ah, so you would take a risk and buy two, test them, and if they pass, return, and assume they have the exact same devices for sale later when you want to buy 10,000 of them?
It just seems really risky (to me) to trust them for mass quantities of Atmel & Intel uPs, Toshiba transistors, etc.
Ah well.

Roppongi is for foreigners, I'd rather be in the back lanes of Shibuya, or Shimbashi, but you do need a Japanese companion as a guide. Whiling away a few hours in a Shimbashi yakatori bar can be pleasant.
market?
Typical googlie.
"Investigate" doesn't mean "Jump in with both feet without even looking".
Ask around. Check their websites. ask the vendors themselves, for heavens' sakes!
Good Luck! Rich
