In Reply to: buying gold in Bali posted by AnotherFirstTimer on Tuesday, 5. April 2005 at 22:20 Bali Time:
Based on Mic's information I have made up a simple Xl spread sheet that can be used as a cheat sheet, just enter the US$ gold price, US$ to AU$ Official Exchange Rate and Rp. To AU$ street rate and it works out the price for 6 different Carats / % of Gold. (the AU$'s can be changed to work for any currency)
The cheat sheet gives the rates for a range above and below the official day rate so you can enter the details the day before you go to Bali, and print it out and it will give you a very good estimation of what the cost price should be.
E-mail me at the above address (less _noSpam_), if you would like a copy in Xl.
