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? Enrique, the "gadgetphile"

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.
