Selling US Dollars?

cheap_charlie

I have just over $400 in cash from my last trip to the US last year. When I was there the exchange rate was still around $1.90 to $2 to the pound.

I had hoped I would be able to go back to the US quite soon and was keeping them for this eventuality but its now looking increasingly unlikely that I will be able to do this, so I am now considering selling them.

Is there anywhere I can look online to get an idea about how much I would get?

I have never had to sell US dollars before as I always had another trip lined up so I am feeling a bit blonde about this

Lets start with how much you want for them?

For instance, ill give you £200 for them quite happily.

post office has a link, but the exchange rates shown online are often slightly different from actual rates if you go in to the p.o

That's taking advantage, sturll. She (presumably, given the blonde reference) should be able to get £240 for them with no trouble (yesterday's rates). A quick trip round the local High Street should sus out the current best deal.

The fall in the £ means a profit on $$

Find out what you could get for them from M and S. Then see if Sturll will give you at least ten per cent more.

The going rate seems to be 1.6 - ill give 10 points more on the best she finds.

Fair deal i think.

To be fair I'm not THAT blonde, and had had the benefit of checking on the Post Office link someone sent to me before sturll posted.

I'll give him marks for having the nerve to ask me however :rotfl:
