There is a relatively new crossfit at 1175 Migueletes just past Olleros. I have never been there though. I know the crossfit at 8176 libertador in Nunez has a good group of solid instructors and some pretty hard core members. There is also a gym, aires up, at 1651 Jorge Newberry. I am not...

Yeah, so I think in US a classic vehicle is 25 yrs or older and in argentina its 30. My understanding is importing a classic vehicle in US is exempt from standard emissions testing. In argentina I never had to pass an emissions test with my regular vw golf. I really doubt they do emissions...

Several years ago I was in a similar situation. I had a 1975 FJ40 I was trying to import to argentina from venezuela that I had purchased from the original owner who was a factory manager at the toyota plant locally. Unfortunately, I never got the car out of the port in Venezuela due to crazy...

Based on my experience of dealing with mercadolibre for years, I am of the opinion that it is highly unlikely customer service will resolve your case in a fast, coherent way. Most likely you will just get a bunch of messages not on topic and that do not actually fix anything. To combat these...

Does anyone know where I could rent a full indoor basketball court for an entire day? Preferably located near belgrano/palermo, but can really be anywhere...TIA...

It isnt just Buquebus. It's also colonia express and seacat. Are all three of them Uruguayan? I also haven't seen this mentioned in the threads here, but did you know there is now a new 15% tax for non-residents who have local brokerage accounts? So, any sale that you make of peso...

I always say something like "I apologize, but I need to count and inspect each bill you are giving me. Unfortunately, I have learned through experience and observation that here in Argentina, this type of precaution is absolutely necessary to prevent mistakes and fraud." Then I apologize again...

Yeah, and what I also hate about mercadolibre is that now your rating as a seller will go down as you will have a non-completed transaction. But, instead of it showing up in your history, so others can see it, mercadolibre will erase it entirely. Which is another reason most people dont...

Yup. All of the above have happened to me. A couple of years ago an old guy tried to buy a computer of mine with fake US bills. When he handed me the clearly fake bills I was nervous that he was going to try and rob me. I handed them back to him and threw him out of the building. That was...

Thanks for the reply AmigoArtistico. By just looking at the volume of usd denominated transactions in NYC, it would be difficult to tell which sales were being used as contado con liqui, and which were regular sales originating in the US. Really, I am just trying to wrap my head around the...

Hey, AmigoArtistico (or anyone) I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a place that publishes the following info on a daily basis: 1) The total daily volume in the contado con liqui market 2) The total daily volume of the "blue dollar" 3) The volume of the ANSES bond sales described...

Yep, that is how we got USD about 2 months ago. We went to the bank the day before travel with AFIP approval, stood in line at the local branch before it opened, and the transaction went through at like 10:10.

To make sure you are getting a fair rate, u should ask for both a bid and ask every time you go. Then make a judgement based on the size of the spread compared to the spread elsewhere. Paying less for bills smaller than $50 has been normal for quite some time.

Seeing if anyone can recommend a physical therapist that makes house calls or is located near belgrano that can rehab a knee after ACL surgery. Even better if they give knee massages. Would be paying privately without insurance. Thanks.

As far as gyms go, there is a crossfit gym at 5955 Honduras that is good, and there is a Megatlon in the Alto Palermo shopping.

It is not a race to the bottom. There is a big difference between expanding the monetary base and expanding the money supply. This is reflected in inflation. 25% vs 2%. If it was a race, Argentina would be crushing the US.

you could buy it, hire a bodyguard, and have him take it back by force when you meet...or not.

Ive been buying and selling for years too. Never had problems with cheaper items, but expensive/rare items can be a hassle to sell. And both mercadolibre and mercadopago have awful to non-existent support for sellers. If anything goes wrong do not expect any help from either.

I have no link for this, but my understanding is that flights and hotels are not subject to the 15% tax. And yeah, it is really baffling how among most of my Argentinian friends I am the only one actually really angry about all this craziness. And, I dont even have a local credit card.

Add to that list the United (ex-continental) Presidential Plus card. Costs $400 a year but has no forex fees, gets you into the united (star alliance) lounges, and earns frequent flier points.
