    Getting International Driver's Permit In Ba

    I just got an International Driving Permit today at the ACA in Olivos. In and out in less than twenty minutes. The reason I got one is that I'm hiring a car in the UK next week and since my UK licence needs renewing (change of address) and there's a new system for checking your driving record...

    Whats Up With Mercadolibre These Days?

    I've been using Mercado Envios (OCA) for sold items a couple of years now and I like it's simplicity. Just print the OCA slip, walk next door to the OCA branch, which is really a papeleria, they pack it and ship it at no extra cost. Never had a problem. Touch wood.

    Is It Now Cheaper To Bring Computer Parts Into The Country?

    Why would you declare it anyway? Of course, it depends on the physical size and nature of the product when coming back, if that's what you mean. Or have I lost the plot?

    Whats Up With Mercadolibre These Days?

    Thanks for that Steve. So you're saying that, even though when publishing a sale for an item where 'cash in hand' or 'with agreement etc' is NOT available to me, if someone clicks 'buy' they get the option to arrange whatever option (cash for example) to choose?

    Whats Up With Mercadolibre These Days?

    Me too, in spite of my well honed presentations. It does of course depend on what you're selling and if it falls into electronic goods like phones, laptops etc, ML have this compulsory Mercadopago policy, when in fact many people prefer to pay in cash. I also put exactly the same on OLX and I've...

    Latam Airlines - Heads-Up

    Yes, amazing as it seems. Besides, we can't afford to fly business, unlike you. On the other hand, being welcomed onto the plane by friendly British staff sets the tone, like I'm already in England and that's when the holiday starts. Another reason is that we didn't fancy the long stopover in...

    Getting Sufficient Funds Into Arg To Buy A Car

    ...added to which the dealers here want your business. We're changing our car and a few dealer visits have revealed that they'll give you up to 15% discount for cash which, as expected, they say is for a limited time only (haha). But mind the delivery and registration charges as they can be...

    Anyone Selling A Phone/phone Repair

    It's worth pointing out that Citygirl started this thread two years ago and may not be relevant anymore. I hope she got her phones fixed either way!

    Is It Now Cheaper To Bring Computer Parts Into The Country?

    Some examples... 500Gb Kingston SSD hard drive $230 here and $170 Amazon US Graphics card MSI GTX970 $530 here and $360 Amazon US The differences are more marked on the must have and generally more expensive items. I've taken these figures from Mercadolibre to get an idea of average prices, but...

    Trump Reveals Super Sensitive Classified Info

    I have BBC breaking news on my phone and when an alert comes in there's an urgent sounding BBC jingle and a notification. When they come in now, I mumble 'What's he done now?' because inevitably it's another Trump faux-pas. Frankly, he's his own worst enemy.

    This Looks Like A Ton Of Fun,... Anybody Try It ?

    I can vouch for Refrianex. It really works on the symptoms and you get a free high too. Surprised it's legal.
