Oh boy.... you didn't prepare yourself beforehand! You must have been
shopping within 200 meters from the station since you talked about the
"small stores" etc. But there is also the LARGEST electronics store in the
whole bloody world! It's called "Yodobashi Camera", a HUGE block with
multiple floors where you get EVERYTHING that's available. According to
press releases, this shop has a combimed floor space of 42% of the entire
shops in Akihabara. And there are several other BIG stores too.
Can't help about the prices. Cheaper stuff can be had in the small shops
over 500 meters away from the station. However, they are hardly seen by
one-day visitors to Japan.
