    The Arg gov advices and recomends it but is not mandatory. The only thing is that you have to check with your home country regulations because the might be the ones that make it mandatory. I've been there 27 times in the last 5 years and never got the vaccines.

    Move to Buenos Aires?

    Yes, they also killed all the children and drank white doves blood. No, not at all, only in the bank accounts, that are different from safe deposits. If you had 30k U$D in the bank, now you had 30k pesos, BUT if you owed the bank 30k U$D, you still owe them that much. That's to say all your...

    Interesting rip off by a forum user - mercadolibre

    So, if the guy bought the bike and after the purchase had put it in ML, there would not be a problem. I'm just saying this only sounds that you are making it bigger than it actually is... Believe me, i don't even have a ML account because i belive their system is bullshit (charging comision...

    Interesting rip off by a forum user - mercadolibre

    Was he selling the bike for the same price or a little bit higher? I mean, i understand why you get mad, bu if he pays you the 3800 that you are asking for, and then resells it for, let's say, 4500... what would be your problem? Selling a house doesn't work like this? You have a house to sell...
