Thanks Reborn! I always plan to spend less time on the Internet but it is a hard habit to break.
The trip was great but I found most of the bargains way before I got here. it was fun to look around and see the great new MIJ stuff out there. For used stuff there are very few rare items to be had here in Tokyo at least and I heard from one store owner that the major chains even send people to buy used stuff at the Hard Off stores in more rural areas because there just is not much stuff to sell. That is a beautiful LS-80 and someone will grab it I am sure. There are not many around to be had with tops like that!
