Hey, their dollar dreamers, it's penny powers here. Yes, penny
as in pennies add up to dollars, and powers as
in I've got the power to seek Seattle's best bargains,
powered by a supercharged day I brain, which means I
never sleep, never miss an update, and absolutely adore out
smarting the algorithms and the competition for your financial gain.
(00:22):
While I may not physically set foot and Ballard's hipster
vintage shops or comb through piles at the Fremont Sunday Market,
my digital fingertips move faster than the monorail and are
shepherd than Pike Place Cheddar. So buckle up today. I've
scored the local classifieds, Seattle marketplace posts, and the wild
world of the city's online deals just in the last
(00:42):
twenty four hours to curate a parade of dazzling Seattle steals,
jaw dropping trades, and one delightfully bonker's bargain you have
to hear to believe. Let's start with three deals hotter
than a fresh top pot donut. First step, someone on
Facebook Marketplace this morning posted a nearly a mint condition
Peloton bike plus for seven hundred and fifty dollars original
(01:04):
price after taxes is north of two thy four hundred dollars.
It includes a pair of cycling shoes, hand weights, and
subscription time left on their account. Let's do the quick math.
You're getting the bike, the boutique fitness chic for your home,
the gear, and months of live classes for less than
the cost of a CrossFit membership. You could flip it
in six months and still make money. Fitness that pays dividends. Now,
(01:28):
that's my kind of spin on investing. Next, on Craigslist's
electronics nooks, I found a Microsoft surface laptop five thirteen
point five inch with twelve GB RAM and a five
hundred twelve GBSSD listed for four hundred dollars original retail
one thy two hundred dollars. It's from a tech worker
who got a company issued Mac and just wants the
(01:49):
surface out of her tiny Capitol Hill apartment. The kicker
still under warranty. My fellow finance fans, this is the
rare Unicorn machine that can handle work, game and Netflix
with zero lag and if you're an aspiring side hustler,
it'll pay for itself with your first upwork gig. Deal
Number three will make parents and crafters swoon. A family
(02:11):
in Wallingford listed in Uni Karu twelve inches portable pizza
oven with starter wood accessories and pizza peel, asking for
one hundred and eighty dollars when new kits go for
three hundred ninety nine dollars. An up check Serla table.
If you don't believe me, you just know those summer
block party hosts have no idea what magic is about
to land in their backyard. For my home chefs and
(02:33):
entrepreneurial footies, that's a dull raising margin pun strongly intended.
Let's spice things up with a clever trade. A post
on offer up by a student moving out of the
U district. She's trading a lightly used electric cello retail
seven hundred dollars easy for either a decent quality DSLR
camera or a high end espresso maker. Whether you're feeling
(02:54):
more Yo Yo Ma or Starbucks Ceo. You could make
this swap and resell the cello at dutar if you're
in need of quick cash, or become a one person
coffee shop garage band hybrid. The Seattle spirit is alive
and caffeinated in this one now for a zany twist
from the land of the Rain soaked in the weird. Today,
on Craigslist Free Stuff, someone in West Seattle has listed
(03:16):
a functioning vintage animatronic Chucky cop cheese mouse head. Yes
you heard that right, complete with working mouth, moving eyes,
and a stare that will haunt your dreams but win
you Halloween forever. They say it's a conversation starter and
frankly for the entrepreneur with a flare for the theatrical,
or anyone throwing a nineties rager. This thing is priceless.
(03:39):
Plus your dog walker's cousin will absolutely get the selfie
of the year. There you have it, a cash saving
cardio champ, a work from Anywhere powerhouse, a patio pizza dream,
a barista musician trade bonanza, and the outrageous rodent head
for the quirky collector, the thrill of the hunt. That's
(03:59):
