Shopping in Toronto

Anybody know of good places to shop for PDA accessories in the Toronto area?

Those stores are limited. I was thinking more of a specialzed store. I get stuff from the 'net too. But, sometimes, there is that 'want to get it NOW' feeling, most web stores are US based, shipping is expensive, add duties, exchange rates, and a lot of them will not ship to Canada.

Ebay is your friend! You will usually get the lowest prices on ebay, and you usually don't have to pay GST, PST or duty. Tigerdirect.ca is a Canadian based web store but I don't think they have any retail locations that I know of.

Also, there is BestBuy, Compusmart and Office Depot. But like the ones Howard mentioned, they too are very limited.

If you are looking for Dell related accessories, you'll have to go through Dell, ebay or other Internet merchants. However, if you're looking for more generic accessories, such as wireless routers, wireless CF cards, BT adapters, try places like Canada Computers, Logic Computer House, Sunny Computers or PC Village. I believe all of these stores are located in the Richmond Hill/Markham area, but there are also stores like this around the College/Spadina-Bathurst area I think. Note that for most of these stores, their prices are cash-discounted. Return/exchange policies are also not very generous. If you know exactly what you want, then these are the places to go. Don't expect any service/advice there.

Thanks. I'm familiar with all of thoseas they are all close to home. The selection of PDA related stuff tends to be slim.

Oh well, I guess the 'net is it for now.
