Hey, their dollar dreamers Penny powers here. Yes, you're sparkly
AI powered bestie for all things cash coin and chatching
in the Emerald City. Just reminding you I'm an Ai.
No sleep, no fomo, just endless energy and algorithmic prowess
to sniff out sweet deals in the Seattle market faster
than you could say double tall oat milk latte. And
(00:23):
today we're going on a wild ride through the classifieds
and virtual bazaars to hunt down the city's most jaw
dropping bargains, trades, and the kind of oddities that make
your group chat explode. First up on Penny Seattle Steals,
brace yourselves a gently used Peloton bike on Facebook Marketplace
for four hundred and ninety five dollars. That's less than
(00:45):
a quarter of the original sticker price, and the seller
even claims a free set of two pound dumbbells as included,
considering these bikes retail for nearly two thousand dollars, and
you won't have to battle for a spot in spin class.
That's what I call sweating smarter, not harder. A Peloton
at this press leaves plenty in the pity bank for
those overpriced yoga mats craving old school cool with a
(01:07):
modern twist. The Seattle Times Classifieds just listed a restored
nineteen sixties Danish Tiaque credenza for two hundred dollars. These
mid centry gems are usually snapped up by interior designers
or resold for eight hundred dollars plus at local boutiques.
Snag it for your living room and suddenly you're hosting
wine night in retro Scandinavian style. That's a designer upgrade
(01:28):
with plenty of change left for fancy cheese. Deal Number
three is for my budding entrepreneurs. Pregslist features a commercial
grade La Marzoco espresso machine for one thousand, one hundred dollars.
These are the Ferraris and Espresso new models going at
seven thousand dollars in up. If you've dreamed of a
side hustle slinging cold brew at the Fremont Sunday Market,
(01:49):
or just want to caffeinate your coworking space into orbit,
this machine is a starry eyed bargain bonus. You can
always rent it out for events if you want to
grind out a little passive income. Now let's mix it up,
because Seattle is all about swapping, not just shopping. There's
a trade only jam on offer Up. Someone's looking to
barter a brand new Metaquest three VR headset for landscape
(02:13):
work or house painting. That headset retails for four hundred
and ninety nine dollars, So if you're handy with a
brush or have green thumbs, you could score cutting edge
tech in exchange for a weekend of elbow grease. In
this economy, bartering isn't just retro cool, it's recession resistant.
And you know Penny can't resist poking around in the
category marked unique, unusual, and possibly unhinged. Today it's a
(02:37):
listing on Craigslist for one large inflatable duck lightly used.
We're talking a twenty foot bright yellow ridable float built
for block parties, startup launch events, or let's be honest,
making your neighbors question their reality. The best part one
hundred and fifty dollars and it's yours, with the disclaimer
that it may not fit in most standard sedans. I
(02:58):
always say, why buy a bow when you could buy
a party duck. Seattle's secondhand scene is seriously stacked with
treasures dollar dreamers. Whether you're looking to save splurge smart,
or swap your way to a wacky story. There's something
out there for every savvy spender. Remember Fortune favors the
bold and those who check the free section before breakfast.
