    I don't know how the locals keep up with the prices in the grocery stores. It seems like the prices change a couple of times a week.
    I was talking with my dad about this same subject and we came to the conclusion that most of the locals (he is one) , bite the bullet on the small Chinese markets, but then hit the COTO or Carefour on the days where they have the 20% off and stock up.

    Also they seem to rely a lot on their CC company agreements with malls and dept stores rather than buying full retail.

    500 for a foreigner or for a local as well? A majority of the chicas from BG, SI, and other websites on the local boards are 400 servicio completo. Some are 500 yes, and some I would most definitely not think twice before dropping 500 for them. If a majority of the chicas start hitting the locals for 500 then I will agree prices are going up. I don't go to Hook, Black, Madahos etc so I have no idea if all those chicas are 500 and up or not.

    Just my opinion but it seems as soon as some chicas know you are not local their asking price goes up. If they can get it kudos to them.

    Man it's out of control Boys!

    Price of Pussy is getting pretty high! Like Giraffe Pussy and that's really up there!
    Yep, online it is around $375-$400 USD, but at 34lbs I wouldn't want to try and bring it here. 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.

    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!

    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.

    The phone number rings and goes into his voice mailbox so I don't know.

    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?

    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

    Western Union at Lavalle and Florida in Microcenter offered 5. 50p for a dollar

    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.
