'Bye' is short for 'Goodbye' and 'buy for now' is similar to 'See you soon' or Пока, До скорого.

Buy vs bye #4 (permalink) Wed Feb 25, 2004 7:31 am   Buy vs bye
 

Hi Terminator,

You say 'Bye for now' when you leave somebody. The verb 'to buy' sounds the same but means 'to purchase something.' So to answer your question, 'bye for now' is correct in the given context.

Hi Torsten!
I forgot to say! It is great that you sometimes use Russian words! I am planning to learn this language soon.
