How do you like living in Mar de Plata so far? We are an Argentine/US couple in Buenos Aires. Happy to go out for drinks if you visit the city.

I would not consider the location in Caballito to be good food. Average at best.

I can't find anyone else on other BA forums talking about running into new issues with WU transfers. Has anyone recently transferred from a US bank account to an Arg bank account without issue? I usually send it to my wife here.

They are at the coin fair on Sunday at parque Rivadavia

I had no problem selling well above spot at the coin fair this Sunday. Sounds like you bought too high and don't know how to sell. Sorry about that.

Hi. I want to raise funds to buy an apartment here. I have various gold and silver bullion coins for sale in exchange for dollars. Feel free to ask.

Right, this is my concern. The last 3 months the IPC shows an increase of 36%, but the WU rate has not nearly increased that much in the last 3 months, so I would stand to pay a lot more in pesos if the same trend continues

Hi all. My rent is up in April. My landlord wants 850,000 pesos with an increase every 3 months based on the consumer price index here (IPC) vivienda.buenosaires.gob.ar/calculadora_alquiler My other option is to pay upfront 6 months at $850 dollars a month ($5100) in cash. I transfer money here...
