    Dollars being sold

    I sold a lot of pesos today for $US at Arenales. Price was changing buy the hour, started at 8.45 at 11 am was 8.7 at 1.30 pm. Guy told me that all the cuevas will sell dollars.

    Will be open Saturdays again starting 23 March, if I read it right from 10:00-13:00, Monday-Friday 09:00-17:00.
    I haven't bothered to do a regression analysis, however, it seems to me that the spread between the official rate and the blue rate is growing. I would interpret that as a leading indicator and what it is indicating isn't positive for anyone hold large amounts of pesos.

    Tommy: For most of the 'stuff' (cell phones, SIM cards, good exchange rates, etc)., I have found that I need to go to Centro. That said, if you go back in this thread several pages or so, I am pretty sure that Toymann or one of the other local legends has a cambio on Junin (if I recall correctly) that I probably walked past a million times.

    Good luck.

    TL got me 7.5 (would have been more were I less gringissimo) somewhere around Arenales or Santa Fe / 9 de Julio: thanks!
    Sorry about this, my fault: on a weekday there are guys in the 800-900 block of Florida who are sufficiently delighted to exchange at 7.7 that I wonder if I could have got more.

So I suppose back to the cueva unless someone is interested in an exchange to $us at a good rate. I am in Recoleta.
    Sure, good advice. Really just want to get rid of them so happy to exchange at 7.8 have 20000 pesos.

    You might want to give an idea of exchange rate and amount you can handle. I realize why you would want to be circumspect but you might get more responses with a little more info.

    Also I got 7.9 for 3300 today at my guy on Florida right across from Galaria Pacifico.

    I was not happy with 7.5 because I told him to give you 7.7 but then again it was'nt that much.

    That was on Lavalle at a store called Harry Truman, maybe 900 block. It's a clothing and general junk shop but it was convenient as we were in a hurry.

    Better luck next time.

    The Tour was nice, we must have walked 100 blocks.

    Thanks,

    TL.
