Staying 20 km away from Buenos Aires, I asked my host how to change my dollars. He phoned a guy who delivered the pesos within one hour at 9.80 for a dollar against 9.81 on blue dollars websites. Quick, fairly safe and excellent rate.

If any one knows any one (most likely a Argentino) who needs dollars some where "outside" for pesos here (Buenos Aires) send me a PM. Thanks.

Bad Idea ! 12345 1
[QUOTE=TejanoLibre;433483]Bad Idea ! 12345 1[/QUOTE]Actually its a great idea, I have been doing it for a while now. They pay over the going rate if they need the money and you can put it where they need it. My problem is my current "clients" don't need any dollars right now.
I was wondering, any chance to get the blue rate at Ezeiza airport upon arrival?
Thanks!

Thanks![/QUOTE]No way, as far as I know.

TL.
Fred will have some to spare !
On another note (s) a friend of ours has about 150k in dollars per month that he needs to convert.
PM me .
Received 9.80 today on Arenales, changing $200 USD.
Any regulars who personally know me, who have some greenbacks left over from a trip or are coming down and can bring some please PM me. Thanks.
I apologize profusely in advance if this has been answered already, but I haven't found a post with a clear-cut answer yet.
I'm extending my trip to Buenos Aires by six months, and I need to get dollars from my US account. Since I will be going to Colonia to renew my visa, I plan on picking up dollars there.
The problem is that my credit union severely limits what I can take out of an ATM daily.
Is it possible to wire dollars to a bank and withdraw them? Or use something Western Union? Or will the money automatically be converted to Uruguayan Pesos?
There's some talk about using xoom in the forums, but I'd rather stick to traditional methods and companies with a solid reputation. However if xoom turns out to be the best option, I would open to using it.
And if anyone has any other ideas on how to get dollars from my account to Uruguay, I would like to hear them. Thanks.

I just got 9.0 there. I was going to exchange USD 1,000, but ended up changing only 200 as I figure one might do better elsewhere.
Looks like Moreno shook these guys up a little; recently I got 9.1 when the published rate was lower. I'm guessing this will all change soon, though.

Quotation on [URL]dolarblue.net[/URL] is still 10.03 on the ask, unchanged since Friday afternoon although the liquidacion (for international money transfer via ADRs) dropped 11 centavos.
Looks like the cuevas are cooperating with the government and holding back a little, therefore street spreads may widen until volume comes back.
Got 9.2 for $300 at Dalman today. He offered 9.1 for $200 but bumped it up for $300.
