    Interesting rip off by a forum user - mercadolibre

    My problem is that he/she is selling MY property on a medium that I hadn't yet exploited. After no hits on BAepats, I go to mercadolibre to list it a bit higher (because everybody tries to bargain the price down here, at least a little) and its already been posted! So I post for a lower...

    Northern Chile and Bolivia recommendations

    There are so many tour companies/hostels in San Pedro de Atacama it is incredible, and I've heard a lot of bad stories about the Salar de Uyuni tours. Personally, we had our tour office (can't remember the name) tell us that they only used 2005 or newer Toyotas. We drove an hour is the very...

    Need help finding 1wk rental in Las Cañitas

    We just used BYT Argentina for my mother's visit and it worked well. Our particular apartment was a minimum 2 week rental. Be sure to take a lot of photos before they visit. The lady that checked her out claimed a plate was missing and the TV remote had been broken, but she wouldn't charge us...

    Special Educational Support in BA for 8 year old

    I was once an 8 year old with quite a strong case of ADHD. I recommend a bit of Adderall and a lot of room to run around. I hope you move near a park!

    Interesting rip off by a forum user - mercadolibre

    If I had been thinking correctly, I should have created another mercadolibre account that didn't have Sam3G attached to it, and 'bought' my own bici on mercado libre.

    Interesting rip off by a forum user - mercadolibre

    It was definitely a reader of this forum, because my original post was the only place it could be found on the internet until I went to Mercadolibre. It's kind of disheartening that an expat would do that. What happens when some excited person buys it on mercado libre? I always assumed that...

    Interesting rip off by a forum user - mercadolibre

    I find the seat quite comfortable. It's not a beach bike, but it's not a racing seat either! I asked on the fake mercado libre page: Me: Hola, $3800 esta bien? Response: Ahhh! So you want to buy your own bike lol - Me: Le agradecería que si bien ibas a comprar la bici por $ 3800 o eliminar...

    Interesting rip off by a forum user - mercadolibre

    My best guess is they want to resell the bike for a higher value, but don't want the risk of buying it first. Either way, that's a low thing to do. Now I am going to have confused people on Mercado libre contacting a person that doesn't own the bike... We better get inspector Steve on this...

    Interesting rip off by a forum user - mercadolibre

    I'm selling my great Dahon bicycle on another post, and haven't gotten any message about it as of yet. I go to post it on mercadolibre, and what do I see? Someone else has posted MY BICYCLE with MY SHADOW. I appreciate it if you are trying to find any buyers, but the bicycle is still in my...
