Would anyone like to exchange pesos for $150-$170 USD?

A recent victim of Murphy´s Law, I now need to buy a gently used computer since all three of mine bit the dust within days of each other. I had planned to use the repayment of a loan to pay the balance due, but the borrower used the money for her father's funeral, and I am not about to pester a grief-stricken friend for money that she does not have. Instead, I would prefer to sell some US dollars that I no longer need rather than further draining my Mexican bank account. If you have a use for dollars, please let me know by calling 314 132 4396 or emailing lunalena49(at)gmail.com. The mid- market exchange rate has been above 20/1 all week, so I would like to use a 20/1 exchange rate. I need to pay off the computer Monday at noon. | -----------------------Re: Would anyone like to exchange pesos for $150-$170 USD?

I just changed dollars to pesos today via Intercam, the exchange rate was 19.7. The number you see on the Internet is usually the bank rate, not what we mere mortals get. Ever hear of the cantilion effect? Banks borrow from the federal reserve at close to zero percent then charge the unwashed masses 18+ percent. But since you are in a computer bind, something I have a lot of empathy for, I shall email you and hope you can deal with ####ing reality. | -----------------------Re: Would anyone like to exchange pesos for $150-$170 USD?

I very gratefully accept your generous offer. Perhaps I am spoiled because the Bank of Mexico does not take a cut out of my monthly SS deposit, and I am paid for editing translations through CI Banco, which only takes a tiny sliver. At any rate, I am ecstatic to have a computer again and tempted to throw my new phone out the window. Simone made far too many errors when I used her to post online. | -----------------------
