Title: Inter-blonde CURRENCY exchange thread. Post by: RichEO on December 05, 2007, 08:21:32 AM What do people think of having a thread lurking around (eg this one) that is sort of a match making thread where members post what currency they want to get rid of or need.
There are no doubt lots of us with €s and $s that get changed back and forth and cost us a fortune with comisson and poor exchange rates. So to save ourselves some money we post what we have on offer and chances are we will meet up with a needy exchangee at an event in the near future. I have €1780 to get rid of. Title: Re: Inter-blonde CURRENCY exchange thread. Post by: ACE2M on December 05, 2007, 11:09:55 AM good idea, sadly i had to accept getting shafted by the bank recently on some euros, what a scam the whole currency exchange system is.

Thanks The point of the thread and hopefully ethos of blonde is that we will exchange at the current rate and both save a bit. PM on its way. Title: Re: Inter-blonde CURRENCY exchange thread. Post by: kinboshi on December 05, 2007, 05:02:07 PM Good idea Rich. Makes a lot of sense.
Obviously, anyone getting involved in a transaction will be doing so at their own risk. Just because someone's a member on blonde, doesn't make them trustworthy... It might be the case that there's someone on the forum that both parties trust, and they can act as an escrow - taking the funds from both parties and releasing them when both sets of funds are received (or something).

Yes of course. I would expect most transactions to be face to face tho, which would reduce the risk (maybe). Title: Re: Inter-blonde CURRENCY exchange thread. Post by: Longy on December 06, 2007, 03:24:35 AM Good point Kin, if a well known trusted member(s) of the forum was prepared to escrow that would be probably the best method.

Good idea, currency exchanges literally rip your arms and legs off with their rates. If people are going to do this, use the above link to find it the market mid price for the conversion rate. Title: Re: Inter-blonde CURRENCY exchange thread. Post by: Royal Flush on December 08, 2007, 04:39:24 PM So does anyone have $?
Title: Re: Inter-blonde CURRENCY exchange thread. Post by: RichEO on December 09, 2007, 04:25:04 AM It will probably take a while for people to start saving their currnency rather than changing it back as it's a new invention :P
Are you going to vegas soon. Me, duke, shogun technolog and a few others are heading to vegas in April so will take a load of $ if you have any nice cashes while your out there.

Title: Re: Inter-blonde CURRENCY exchange thread. Post by: Rookie (Rodney) on May 14, 2009, 11:24:42 PM Got any Rich?
Title: Re: Inter-blonde CURRENCY exchange thread. Post by: Royal Flush on May 14, 2009, 11:40:19 PM Need a bucketload, long shot i know but if someone has a chunk and is not needing them......hello!
Title: Re: Inter-blonde CURRENCY exchange thread. Post by: dino1980 on May 15, 2009, 04:22:33 AM Flushy, have you thought about trying Gary Benson? He'll take chunks on stars charges 1% comission i believe. I imagine he'll be at the wsop (garybenson.com.au iirc)
Title: Re: Inter-blonde CURRENCY exchange thread. Post by: RichEO on May 15, 2009, 05:16:21 PM Got any Rich? Got a few, but I need more too :( Might see you out there. Title: Re: Inter-blonde CURRENCY exchange thread. Post by: rex008 on September 07, 2009, 05:04:19 PM Probably not likely (given what I read in the various WSOP threads :)), but is anyone going to bB8 got any USD cash they want to sell? I'm after about $1k, will pay whatever Friday's spot rate is (1.6366 right now, so about £611). If you've got USD, but not going to bB8, I can be found in DTD relatively frequently as well.
Title: Re: Inter-blonde CURRENCY exchange thread. Post by: rex008 on September 08, 2009, 03:18:58 PM Right, ignore me. I assume lack of response means nobody has any, so I've ordered some online with Crown Currency Exchange.
I should have probably asked this before I ordered, but has anyone used them? Seem to be genuine based on a quick Googling, and give very good rates if ordering > 1 month ahead. Rate would have to go up 10c in the next month before the Post Office becomes better value... |
