Becareful out there, we've had a number of people that have received fake 50s amd 100s peso notes. Taxi cab drivers can be notorious for this and we even had a fake $50 peso note come from an ATM. Look at them closely!

What does getting fake money from a taxista have to do with the subject of this thread? And what happens if you "look closely" at all the bills you get from an ATM and you think one is fake? What exactly do you plan to do then?
[QUOTE=Dickhead;422505]Somehow my original post on the casa de cambio on Scalabrini Ortiz got edited but it is the first or second door on the right as you cross Cervino (that should have a tilde) coming from Las Heras towards Libertador. I think it is the 3200 block of S. Ortiz but cross Cervino and there is a discreet little door with frosted glass and a buzzer. If you can't find it based on these directions, go to the corner of Park, Waite, and Hope and hacete una paja.[/QUOTE]Found the place no problem after finding your post. Has a sign "Dollar Euro" and a green awning. I had not gone far enough on Scalabrini this morning. 5.4 today for 5 x $100 bills. No sense changing more at one time if the rate continues to climb.
Equivalent with xoom.com, including the $15 service fee paying with a bank account, would get you $2684.85 (5.3697 - 1). Almost the same as the cambio gave today.

Nestor Umere
He is paying $5. 65 today if it's at least a grand.
You call him and he will bring it to your hotel or apartment.
Super Safe to do things this way.
I'm pissed because I only got $5. 30 from him just recently but the dollar keeps jumping!

Don't know how much or how many $100. 00 peso bills they gave him but an exchange house should know better!

Western Union at Lavalle and Florida in Microcenter offered 5. 50p for a dollar today.
Much better than 4. 32 offered by the cambio de casas next door to them.
Inflation here is crazy now.

The zoom rate is over 6 now that sounds like a low rateI have stopped using more MT using BBVA bank transfer now.
People have gotten truchos from an ATM
From a security standpoint I would never invite some stranger to my apartment for a money deal now they know where to send the ladrons for all Of your shit or worse.
I wor not do a large amount either the rate is not doing down anytime soon

At first I had the same thoughts as GH about having someone come over but if you have an apartment with an entryway downstairs that's good enough.
The Money Man will not know which unit you live in and if you are in a hotel then it does not matter and the lobby is good enough.
And if that's not good enough you can go and see him on Lavalle where he will take you to a Chino grocery store in broad daylight and the old woman will hand you stacks of $10. 000. 00 pesos stacks.
I need to go look for him tomorrow.
Also, you boys should pool your cash before you exchange to get the highest rates.
Bank Transfers :
A ROYAL PAIN the last time I tried
It must go to the Central Bank first and if not claimed by a certain day it will be returned to the USA, a lot of paper work and red tape and questions and after all that if you do get your money it will be in pesos and at the official rate I'm sure.
Maybe things have changed?

5. 7 there this morning. Xoom shows 5. 9 so pretty much equal after fees.
I went there today also with 200$ in ratty 20$ got 5. 7 if there is anyone that needs help finding this place sendmea pm I'll show you just pay my bus fare $2. 50 round trip I'm going to go every two or three days I'm just changing enough for a few days worth of lomo matte and empanadas I'm suprised how cheap I can live when I'm not buying chica drinks and paying two or three chicas a day the rate is not going down anytime soon. This place always seems to change increments by 5 centavos. Will probably be 5. 75 next time
Also there was a PFA inside as a guard today. Only in Argentina is there a federal officer in an illegal casa de cambio.
[QUOTE=Gato Hunter;423745]I'm surprised how cheap I can live when I'm not buying chica drinks and paying two or three chicas a day.[/QUOTE]HAH! Ain't that the truth! I've hit the place 3 times in the last month and the rate has gone 5. 5,5. 6, and today's 5. 7. Yeah there is no reason to change a lot each time. If the rate gets high enough I may go buy the color photo printer I saw for $3100 pesos!
6 to 1 the other day from a friend!
As for the printer, realize that it's probably $299. 99 Dollars on E-Bay!

Man it's out of control Boys!
Price of Pussy is getting pretty high! Like Giraffe Pussy and that's really up there!

Or pay whatever the extortion would be to buy it from Amazon and get it shipped here. Hey at 8-1 it is 400! Jajaja. Canon Pixma Pro9000 MarkII.
What pussy has been getting pretty high? Lots for less than 500 pesos. Some high quality and some lower quality. A person just needs to take some time and do some research.
A 7 or 8 will cost 500 with no arguments AMD basic Spanish. With BBBJ
