The economy sounds like it is doing just fine in Argentina!

This is why I never believe it when people locally are complaining how they can't afford anything. Statistics would show otherwise.

This is why I never believe it when people locally are complaining how they can't afford anything. Statistics would show otherwise.

And it sounds like it's mostly credit cards. I wonder how much of this is people financing junk or if they really have the cash.

I met a girl there and bought some perfume there. I couldn't believe how expensive it was! At least double of what it cost in the USA!

Hi @Che Vos I am coming to Buenos Aires in 2 weeks. Mike told me that he knows you. If you want me to bring an iPhone for me let me know. Just send me a DM or ask Mike. He has my info. You can just pay my property manager the cash and I would be happy to bring an iPhone for you when I come in 2 weeks. Let me know which one.

Yes @Che Vos I always bring stuff for my clients every single trip. Last trip besides my own stuff I brought 2 MacBooks 2 iPads and 2 iPhones for friends. Ping me or email me and let me know what you want me to bring down. You can stop by my office and leave the money. I don't want to order ahead of time. Sorry don't know you that well. But I'm happy to order anything and bring it down with me in 2 weeks. I'm already bringing a bunch of stuff but between @Johnny and I we are happy to be mules.

@earlyretirement can you check your DM's. I sent you a message. Could you be so kind as to bring me some vitamin supplements from Amazon? It is too expensive to order and ship here and the taxes. I could arrange to bring money to your office. I don't live in CABA but I have close friends there that could bring the money. I hate to ask this but saw your offer to Che Vos.

That would be terrific of you! I just sent @earlyretirement a list. Maybe you two can each bring one. If you can bring me a MacBook Air an an iPhone 16? I sent me the list. I can go to Mike's office and drop off the money. Thanks!

 

[Che Vos]

I love Mike! He buy me and my boyfriend Sushi at Osaka one time for my birthday. He stranger but he did this for us. Now he bring me my new MacBook Air and new iPhone! I so happy!!!

Now I feel like my request was too easy. I don't need the latest gadget. Vitamins here are ridiculous on pricing. Mike is bringing me my goodies too. It feels like Christmas to me.

🤣 I hate to be that person. But @earlyretirement I just sent you a PM. If you are taking requests I have some things in my Amazon basket that I was waiting to get when my sister came in August but if I could trouble you for a few things. They are very small. I would be forever grateful. I can't stomach paying the price for jeans and shoes here!

Ha! I got your DM and responded. Sure I'll bring down your shoes and jeans and clothes. Just sent it to my house. I sent you the address. Funny I am bringing stuff for 4 members of ExpatsBA! I need to create my own business. A few contacted me.

@Che Vos my office got your cash today. I'll go to the Apple Store this weekend for you and get those things!

Now I feel bad I didn't pay you ahead of time. I promise I will send you a direct payment to your alias.

 

[earlyretirement]

I hate to say this but I can't bring anymore stuff down. I am at maximum capacity of what I can bring down without having problems. More than 6 people have DM's me asking to bring stuff and I am going to have to cap it this trip so please nobody ask me again. I am already at capacity and so is @Johnny as is bringing a lot of stuff for my friends.

I'm so sorry to have asked! Thanks for binging my shoes and clothes and stuff! I didn't know you were bringing for so many people. I feel bad now.

I just saw this thread! Can you bring a memory card? They don't take much room at all. Pretty please. It is for my camera and they are too expensive here. I can pay you extra if you want to make some money. I can't find one big enough here and the ones here are bad brands and expensive. I can send you money via PayPal or Venmo. If you can bring me 2 of them. I will email you.

LOL. Ok, I sent you a DM with my address in the USA. Just send the Amazon package to my house please. I won't have time to meet up with anyone I haven't already scheduled with. Have an insane schedule but I can leave these things with the doorman in the building. I'll ping you.

OK send me a DM with the ones that you will be sending. For safety I don't' want to accept anything other than Amazon packages. Some of you are wanting to send me stuff and I won't bring anything down that I don't personally know the person. But that is the absolute last package. My wife has had to pack an extra check in back with all this stuff.
