    So you're saying that the next time I come back I should bring an I-pad or three?

      LOL, yeah, but they are not always the easiest sell here. For some reason, MercadoLibre is difficult to sell things on. I think a lot has to do with the basic level of distrust in society here.

    Hey!
    I see you’re doing your calculations based on the “official dollar”‘s price. But the grey-market price, or “dólar blue” is between $ 4.7 and $ 4.8, depending on which “cueva” you sell it.
    No sense selling it at 4.35 or so when you can go higher, right?
