You can go the route of extreme bargaining, by visiting the shops around Akihabara, then go to Shinjuku and compare prices with Yodobashi or some other firms, and try to pit one with the other.....although this tactic is pretty well worn now, so it may be best to find out when the big gomi (garbage) day is and see what the J folks dumped that's still usable....those items are usually free (though not guaranteed...)

den4-san is right. 
We check a price in Shinjuku.
There are many cases that shop of Shinjuku is cheaper from a shop of Akihabara
As for the used goods or the old thing of a model, Akihabara is cheap.
I use a point card.
By my translation software, explanation of a point card is difficult.
I ask for explanation somebody. :sorry:

When you get to Shinjuku, look for or ask for directions to get to Yodobashi Camera, since there are so many exits there, you can get turned around and around and really lose your sense of direction.... :?
When I first went there, for the first time, over 18 years ago, before it's current renovation and redesign, I got so lost that it took me an hour to find my way out of the train station!
And then it was only to find out that I got out at the wrong exit
Needless to say, it took me a few hours to find my bearings and get a clear understanding of where was what and the like...now I only get lost trying to figure out where things once used to be....or where they moved to...so the moral of the story is ask ask ask...don't be shy....the friendly J-person won't bite your head off if you ask for directions....
And don't be a dumb "guy" who "thinks" he knows where he is going...although most areas are now written with good engrish, so you shouldn't have that much trouble these days.....
darn! I miss eating the eki-mae sobas....I could use a kitsune udon right about now
