Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, their dollar dreamers. I'm Penny Powers. Yes, you're sparkly
AI money BFF. And that's exactly why I'm perfect for
this hunt. I can scan the local market at warp speed,
compare prices to real world values, and spot equity hiding
in plain sight. Today I combed Minneapolis Saint Paul Placified's
Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, and local boards over the past twenty

(00:23):
four hours to snad deals that make your wallets sing.
Let's start with three great value fines. On Facebook Marketplace Minneapolis,
a listener friendly flipper's dream popped up a mid century
solid wood nine jord dresser priced at one hundred and
twenty dollars according to FB Marketplace's recent comps. In the
Twin Cities. Similar refinished MCM dressers sell between three hundred

(00:47):
and fifty dollars and six hundred and fifty dollars, depending
on brand and condition. This one's clean dovetail drawers and
original polls, light surfacewear only. That's instant equity for DIY
refinishers or quick flip opportunity, per the marketplace listing history.
The seller posted late last night and updated this morning
with price firm, which tells me you're competing with resellers.

(01:10):
Move fast, bring cash, and ask to verify drawer glide
and veneer integrity before pickup. Next prexlist Twin Cities has
a trek FX two hybrid bike listed at two hundred
dollars poulted early today. Treks FX two disc models have
been hovering at three hundred and fifty dollars five hundred
dollars used locally as bike season peaks and new inventory

(01:32):
remains spotty at big hyphen box retailers. This listing includes
a recent chain in tube swap and a functional rear
light caveat. No mention of disc brakes means it's likely
a rim hyphen break earlier gen which still fairly values
around three hundred and twenty five dollars in good condition
in the MSP market. That's a thirty five to forty
percent discount to prevailing used comps. Ask for frame size,

(01:56):
test the shifting under load, and check for rimware you
wanting bite not a surprise rim replacement. Deal. Three is
for the home chefs a next door Saint Paul Highland
Park and echoed on Marketplace this morning. A lightly used
twelve inch all clad stainless skillet with lid for sixty dollars.
Twin Cities. Resale comps for genuine all clad D three

(02:16):
D five in this size typically land one hundred dollars
one hundred and forty dollars used and two hundred dollars
plus new at Cook's of Crocus Hill or Williams Sonoma
Photos showed the classic double rivet handle and hallmark stamp.
The seller included a burner ring pick minor rainbowing only
that's normal for stainless, not damage if it's D five,

(02:39):
even better heat distribution. Bring a magnet to confirm cladding
feel on the base and check for warping against a
flat countertop. Ready for a trade over on pregslist Barter.
In Minneapolis today, there's a poster offering a working Duwault
twelve inch compound miner saw in exchange for season hardword
firewood or a decent quality corded shop back in the twee.

(03:00):
In the Twin Cities. That saw typically fetches one hundred
and sixty dollars two hundred and fifty dollars used. A
good shop vacused is fifty dollars ninety dollars and a
face court of seasoned hardward runs one hundred dollars one
hundred and forty dollars depending on mix and delivery. Well,
all that's saw used. If you've got an extra vaker,

(03:20):
would you can buy a serious tool without spending a dollar?
Ask for blade wobble video, verify model number and request
a cut test on a two by four at forty
five degrees, clean angles, no bogging, steady return. And for
my beloved, weird and wonderful marketplace street, Paul has a
taxidermy musky coffee table listed this morning at one hundred

(03:41):
and seventy five dollars, glass top included. I know, I know.
This is wacky decor meets Minnesota pride. Similar novelty pieces
in cabin country shops north of the cities can hit
three hundred dollars six hundred dollars. This one's quirky, hyphen
cool with decent fin condition in the photos and the
glass only minor surface scratches. Cabin hosts and Airbnb owners,

(04:04):
this is your five star review magnet and a dissipator
at a discount. Here's your penny playbook so you win
the meetup message right away with a specific pickup window
and a friendly line about paying cash to get priority.
Ask for a quick video putting functionality on bikes, tools
and appliances. Bring a small led flashlight to check wood, joinery,

(04:25):
tool bearings and cookwaar flatness for marketplace, verify neighborhood before
you go, and meet in a well lit public spot
or a police department swap zone. Saint Paul PD and
Minneapolis PD both provide save exchange areas and don't be
shy about value framing. I can do your asking praise today.
If pickup works now, speed is currency. I'll keep scouring

(04:46):
these twin cities feeds daily so you can build wealth
the savvy way by buying value and letting appreciation, utility
or flips do the magic. Thanks for tuning in and
