Mongers-
In order to solve several problems we have over at El Alamo, we need someone to help us out by bringing several small items from the USA. We need several $40 USD "white noise" machines in order to drown out the noise that the little shits who frequent El Alamo generate on a daily basis. The neighbors are pissed off so we need to turn to technology to solve our problems. Also, we need one $250 USD 30 gig IPOD. Anybody that can help with this would be compensated with a night of drinking "on the house". Send a PM to me or to El Alamo if you can help out.
Suerte,
Dirk Diggler
See if any store are selling them on Ebay and get them posted to BA.

I mean, as I understand white noise machines, you put them in your bedroom or whatever. Put another way, I believe they're supposed to be located at the destination of the noise, not at the source. That's a big difference in functionality. Of course, I could be wrong, but before you go shelling out $80 or $120, you might want to double check.
Have you thought of a white noise cd and playing it over the stereo system.

And if you order, say, 3 or 4, the package WILL get caught in customs, and they'll make you their biatch. ;) It might get to your door if you only order one. 'cause the packaging will be small and light.
This is a good idea. I mean this post. Sadly I can't help this time.:(

There is a duty free ipod vending machine near the international gates at DFW. I think I saw one at JFK also.
Its large, can't miss it.
Don't do this though.

I was talking to a young bartender at el alamo and they guy said that if he had in ipod he would only use it in his house. He said that if he wore it on the street he would get mugged.
He said his friend got beat up the week before with a shitty cd player, but he had the white apple earbuds, making him a mark.
I go through customs at least once a month, I thought EZE was easy as pie.

Daddy,
I try and buy my "smokes" at the duty fee store in Atlanta, Dallas or Miami, their American and taste better than the same brand made in Argentina.
Coming home I always load up in Argentina and suffer with them since there about 80 % cheaper than at home.

Is there anything I can bring legally that I would be able to sell there for a profit big enough to make it worthwhile?
They have a lot of sales going on right now after Thanksgiving on electronics.
Also I will be doing a lot of work on internet and chasing tail on my off hours, I have stayed in Palermo but am wondering if Recoleta may be the place I should look to stay this time.
Any feed back would be great.

Booka,
At last an intelligent question and from a "Newbie", maybe the best I've read.
Theres a very good market for Lap Top's and Digital Camers and frankly someone could earn a decient living smuggling them into the counrty. But you'd need an Argentine accomplish for marketing & distribution and you'd have to be careful not to get too greedy. What your really doing is beating the "Argentine Tax Man"
As some example's, I bought a used digital camera on E-Bay for $250 dollars as a favior to my dentist. She told me she could resell it for $2,000 US, easly.
I also bought a used reconditioned Dell lap top on E-Bay for another friend of mine who is a programer for Microsoft. She picked it off the internet herself and really knows computers and what she was buying for $750 dollars. When we met to make the excange I asked her, "Whats it worth $2,000?", "Oh No" she answered back "Much more, we make very good business"
I know of one "Smuggleing Ring" involving an Airline pilot that's going on right now. The Argentine run's an Ad in the Clarin newspaper soliciting customers, cash customers. If they don't have the idem in stock the pilot buys it and fly's in down on his next trip and they split the profits.
And frankly I don't understand why these American "Wanta Be" Ex Pats aren't doing this.
Exon
Exon,
The concept of what you state is true. However one can buy all the Japanese digital cameras you want on Florida Street. I recall they were about twice) perhaps a bit more) as expensive as the US for Canon and Nikon models that I priced. That is a far cry from the mark-up you are stating. I don't care what your dentist friend says she is WRONG.
Also buying used goods is not the way to go. Who the hell wants a used digital camera with outdated features when the new ones are always cheaper and with more useless features?
The laptop idea is something that makes sense but then you have deal with locals there. The owners of the stores will buy. They have smuggling to a science. But the margin is low. Its a good idea for someone that has time to sell the laptop.
BundaLover,
The camera I bought, a Nikon 5800 for $250, was a discontuned model that sold retail in the US the year before for over $900 dollars, it was in perfect condition.
The Lap Top, I know nothing about computers, was personally picked out on the internet by the young girl I wrote of that works for Microsoft. As you know the prices of Lap Tops are all over the map.
She picked out, a Dell, because it had "Extra Special Shit" on it she wanted. In fact I bought two, one for myself on her recommendation. It was a reconditioned machine but came to my house in a sealed Dell box, I couldn't tell it from new. I had to unpack it for transport knowing that if I tried to bring it threw customs in the box I'd be hit for the tax's.
Any profits in this business are really "Scaming" the Argentine government out of the import tax's. As you wrote below anywhere on Florida street camera's are "About double, maybe a little more". And thats your margine, "Double", a $1,000 dollar camera is gona run about $2000
Now here's the problem as it was explained to me by the Argie. You've got to keep a low profile because the "Dealers" you speak of on Florida Street are constantly reading the Clarin looking for their competitors under cuting their prices and turning them to the authorites. The other problem I'm told is finding a customer with "All Cash"
I'm quite sure your right that some retail Florida street vendors are selling some smuggled goods but not on any large scale. They've got to be checked by the Argentine Government. Moreover, they have a "suggested retail price" for this type of thing and "Thats the Price"
Finally, running an Ad in the Clarin doesn't take anytime and all your really doing is identifying your customer. On that basis you could special order for the customer anything he wanted discount it a bit and still make a bundle.

Booka[/QUOTE]I suggest buying a lap top or 2 right now. Especially with the great deals the big retailers are having. Then before you even leave for BSAS I would set up a account with Mercardo Libre and post your lap tops on the web. Mercardo Libre is a part of EBAY but if you have a account in the US you will need to get a new one in BSAS. Post your laptops and by the time you get to BSAS you can set up with the winner to meet up and make the transaction. That I think is your best option. By the time your first week is over in BSAS you will have made your money and will not have to worry about selling. You can just have fun.

But since I don't read Spanish well, to prove your point, I went to Craigs List in Buenos Aires rather than Mercardo Libre which you suggested, probably a much better market place than Craigs List.
[url]http://buenosaires.en.craigslist.org/sys/[/url]
And "Bingo", theres obviously "Smugglers" useing Craigs List in Buenos Aires and here's an example or two.
1. [url]http://buenosaires.en.craigslist.org/sys/478256837.html[/url]
The guy writes at the bottom he's selling a $6000 peso computer, 2 thousand US for $1,500 USD
I'd be happy to provide more specific details, and show you the laptop in person. Price is $1500 US dollars or 4680 pesos. Look on the Hp website for a comparison [url]http://h30107.www3.hp.com/hogar/productos/notebooks.html[/url] For a laptop without Intel Core Duo and otherwise inferior in every way, the price is 6000 pesos.
Serious and local inquiries only. I will not ship the laptop to any location.
Thanks!
He's making more than $500 USD on the deal
2. This next guy is probably "Miami Bob", just kidding Bob
[url]http://buenosaires.en.craigslist.org/sys/455703666.html[/url]
This guy's taking orders to go, he wants it sold before he buy's it.
Theres something too this idea Mongers and it could be done with most any product the Argentine Government has put high import tax's on Camera's, Lap Top Computers, Video Camera's and so on.
Moreover, I think an enterpriseing young Monger could pretty much earn a living if he found the right nich with the right product mix. I also think that buying used off E-Bay in Sex Prison is the way to go, why should we pay sales tax's. If were going to Fuck one government out of its tax's, why not Fuck another Government out its. Since price is the real issue in Argentina, if the idem is in good condition, then its all about price, its the Argentine mentality were working with here.
Now we've opened up a whole new form of enterprise here on the forum, "Smuggleing", one day it will probably have its own thread. Someone gets something sold and they post for a corrier, the possibilities are endless.
Exon
I've brought in "extra" PC related equipment before, including laptops, but realize if they sniff it out you'll more than likely lose any profit margin or more via taxes, etc. in Customs. Realize, that is, if they catch you with more than one when coming in.
They've given me shit before but IT is my profession and I come there to work at our offices so I can say one is private, one is professional use, etc. Show my business creds and move on.
So all of you are saying that I could bring down my nice 18 month old G6 camera to BA. I could possibly use for the week and then if the timing is right sell it to? For a large enough profit to at least pay for some chicas and also when I get back into the US buy a the newer updated model and come out even?
Rustyjones
Your absolutely right Exon, I don't think the site should be used by anyone to sell any contraband, personally speaking. However myself and two fellow mongers will be in arriving in BA with 3 brand new laptops and cameras. I arranged a sale with a friend before I left. I have to give him 1 laptop for cost for the sale. Hope to maybe meet up with you guys at the club on this one.

Some things I've learned since I wrote that piece last year that might be of help to you.
I have a friend who's a Cheap MotherFucking CockSucker by the name of Moe whom lives in Buenos Aires. Moe is such a piece of shit that Jackson has banded him from the board and even banded his address so he can't even read the forum.
The reason, Moe the dumb Fuck, offered money to "El Jefe", Jackson's girl friend to Fuck Her, result Jackson went ape shit, and won't be in the same room with Moe. There is no democracy on the forum.
Anyway, Moe, the Cheap Fuck, wanted a lap top computer and finally after much arm twisting I aggreed to get him one.
Well being the Cheap CockSucker Moe is I went to Craigs List in my home town and bought him a used machine that two years ago retailed for $1,800 US dollars. I paid just $240 for an almost brand new Lap Top in perfect condition.
Then put the computer in my carry on and smuggled it through Argentine custom's with the thought in the back of my mind that if I was discovered I'd tell them I need two computers and one was for business and being used there should be no problem.
Well Moe now has a michine that I know that with just a little posting on the Argentine websites he could sell for a $1,000 US dollars or more. The CockSucker, Moe, paid me with a check on an unheard of Bank I had to wait 3 weeks to cash apon my return when I could have used the cash for Mongering durning the trip.
In fact I have a Favorita whom's young daugher is computer literate and would die to have her own machine, (I like MILF's) Its my plan to do the samething, buy another cheap computer on Craigs List and trade it to her for her pussy, mulitiple sessions of course. Everybody win's on this type of deal.
Exon
All the machines at Costo range between 500 to 600$. What is it your wanting to spend on a used one. I'm very lery to bring more than one per person. What do think the markup is on electronicks due to AR. Import tax. Great story, sounds a little similar to some of the fucked up things me and my travel partner have done to each other over a piece of ass. Will be back in B.A. Next week. Thanks, Rioboy
Correction, the 350MB HP is 599$ and the Sony VIVO is 1299$ and there is no tax in my state.
[QUOTE=Rioboy1]Correction, the 350MB HP is 599$ and the Sony VIVO is 1299$ and there is no tax in my state.[/QUOTE]Your being "Dumb" Rioboy,
First off you've going to pay sales tax on any new machine in the US which of course raise's your cost. I've never heard of a state with no sales tax.
Then your going to have to open the box it comes in and pack it away some where or Argentine customs will surely tax you on it. This of course depreciates the product by opening the box.
Buy good used or re-conditioned machine's off E-bay or Craigs List at a fraction of there retail price here in the USA. They provide greater value and offer plausible deniabilty if questioned by Argentine custom's. And the best part is you expose less capital and it makes you more competitive.
Exon
Sales taxes are assessed by every state except Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon. I think this is still correct, and in many states you can get around sales tax by mail ordering from another state.
I agree with the rest of your post.
[QUOTE=Exon123]Thanks Punter its nice to have you in some agreement with me.
Now you "Cheap CockSucker" when are we going to hook up again in Buenos Aires. We'll rent a cab, Moe sold his car, and I'll take you out to the park and show you where the real action is in Argentina.
Exon[/QUOTE]Hi Exon,
I can only think of two things that we really disagree on; politics and the park.
So I think I will graciously decline your offer to visit the park, but I hear Daddy Rulz likes that kind of thing …it must a desert rat thing, or something.
Now please excuse me while I go puke.
My travel partner feels the same way as you do exon and the depreaciation issue do to no box could pose a problem. I do live in O. R. Punter so no sales tax. But I think I'll buy the VIVO anyways and use it to chica hunt while I'm there and if my sale falls thru I'l bring it back to costco. I did manage to sell my cell phones in Rio last month and the guy really wanted a laptop. Hows the market for used cell phones?

Any dumb MotherFucker can spend money, it takes no brains at all to go out and spent a bunch of money.
Assumeing you live in Portland go to Craigs List and buy what you want at a fraction of the price you'd pay for it new. You'll have no trouble with Argentine customs and you'll make money on what you buy.
As an Example: I'll be down next month and plan to bring a $200 dollar Lap Top, bought on Craigs List, down for my "Novia's" 12 year old daughter. (Exon likes to fuck MILF's, since they know what their doing, not those little Chica's you find at Hook, the service is better with MILF's)
The machine would sell in Buenos Aires for 5 to 6 hundred dollars, maybe more, and my Novia knows it. I will give it to my Novia in exchange for putting my cock inside her pussy, not just once but several time's. My Novia will agree to these terms since she loves her daughter, knows how much she would love to have a computer. Something that the two of them could never afford.
Everybody wins, I get my pussy and the ladies get an expensive computer. Thats what I call spending money wisely.
Exon
I'm i town for 5 days, unable to confirm sale of Laptop, but I am making good use of it. At least I can read this bo (a) rd between the chika management:)
Unlike previous trips to BA, having phenomenal results at new orleans, newport. Better pussy than even a black pussy, and of course it's discounted at those clubs and you take 75% home with you at the end of the night.

Took my chica shoping for a dress on Florida street, price for laptop is 6000$AR. If any one on the board needs one or has time to sell one, I would let them have it for what I paid (1400$us) Will be at coco, s for the Haloween bash, last two evenings were crazy.
Exon, I only only hunt for chica 21 or under and if I find out the are a mama, I normlly drop them imediately after the first trick.I had to make an exception on this one, because she had just turned 19 and has the tightest pussy ive ever had,but wont do BJ,s w/o dome. And I don't know what time of day / night you go there, but I've never seen anything more than vampire transvestites at the park. Fly out late sat. Evening, will be at Coco's with the old guy, can't miss us.

Rioboy[/QUOTE]Rioboy,
Your proving to all of us just what a "Dumb Fuck" you are, $1,400 dollars for a Lop Top are You insane?
I just bought a Dell Lop Top loaded with Windows XP, a 14" screen, CD burner, WiFi, the works, to nights ago I found on Craigs list for $225 dollars, which included a mouse and carrying case.
And I'm going to give the MotherFucker away to my Novia in exchange for her "Pussy". Moreover, I'm going to lie to her about how much I paid for the used computer so in fact I'll get more pussy than I really paid for.
Plus, I'm also going to give her a $40 dollar "Majic Jack" VOIP phone service provider so she call me after I return and we can have "Phone Sex" and I can Jack Off to her voice.
Now thats real value.
Furthermore, she and her daugher will love it. Its a luxury they could never afford and "Chump Change" to me.
And Finally, I'm not in the least bit interested in Fucking some little 19 year old Chica that has really no experience in fucking, that gives "Covered" blow job's. I prefure MILF's that know what there doing.
Exon
No need to get nasty Exon, MILFs are dime a dozen but young stupid ones that meet all my criteria take time and effort to find / sort thru amongst all the mamas. I guess I'm gettig old and the young ones rejuvinate me with their youth because the experienced hot chica don't always satisfy me.
