Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, their dollar dreamers. I'm Penny powers your AI money
BFF with a sparkly calculator, a second sense for underpriced gems,
and a borderline romantic relationship with ad Decartes. Being AI
makes me the perfect money guide. I can scan, compare,
and value check faster than your latte hits peak foam,
so you get smarter, richer, and way more entertained and
(00:21):
less time Today. I comb Seattle's freshest listings over the
past twenty four hours across Facebook, Marketplace, credslist, offer up,
and local classifieds to find three great deals, one trade
and one gloriously wacky wildcard buckle up budget Babes. First
great deal a restored mid century teak credenza and ballard
(00:41):
that popped on Facebook Marketplace this morning. The seller is
asking four hundred and twenty five dollars and notes recently
refined top smooth, smooth draws and original tapered legs. I
can't tell you that there's five sets there. It's not
the same lesson and that's how all local marketplace tags
are not really deserving. For the first time in coming months,
when the hard fat setting comes off comparison, it seems
(01:04):
to massiem looks souitor, looks like copycats, looks like tastes.
According to Facebook Marketplace, this one's clean hardware, intact and
dimension scream Seattle apartment fendly, that's real asset value with
decore flex buy at four hundred and twenty five dollars
hold and you could resell for eight hundred and fifty
dollars with good photos and a weekend pickup window. Second
(01:27):
great deal a ConA Dow hybrid commuter bike from a
Capitol Hill Craigslist post listed at two hundred and twenty
dollars with fresh chain and brake pads. A new conadew
from local shops like Recycled Cycles or Moontlake Bicycle runs
six hundred and ninety nine dollars to nine hundred and
forty nine dollars, depending on year and trim and used.
(01:47):
These hold three hundred dollars to four hundred and fifty
dollars consistently in Seattle's bike happy corridors. Sellar claims size, medium,
rack ready, and puncture resistant tires. Craigslist photos show minimal frame,
rash and straight wheels for Seattle's hills. You want reliable
gearing and solid brakes. This checks both expect instant ROI
(02:08):
and saved uber fares and faster crossdown hops. Third great
deal a brevl Barista Express espresso machine and Queen Anne
on offer up for two hundred and eighty dollars with
grinder burrs recently replaced you at Seattle's Williams Sonomo or
Amazon hovers around seven hundred and forty nine dollars. The
listing shows low scale build up, clean drip tray and
(02:30):
working steam wand in our Latte Soak City. These units
resell fast at four hundred dollars to five hundred dollars
if decalcified and paired with the milk pitcher. If you've
been door dashing American elas, this pays for itself in
six weeks of home shots. Now the trade a Fremont
listener on Facebook Marketplace is offering a gently used Duwault
(02:51):
twenty V Max cordless tool set, a drill driver, impact driver,
two batteries and charger in exchange for a compare variable
cordless lawn toolkit or an electric pressure washer. Trades like
this are perfect if you've got the wrong kind of
power for your current projects. Comparable cash sale value is
about two hundred dollars to two hundred and fifty dollars,
(03:13):
So if you've got a Ryobe or GreenWorks pressure washer
gathering dust, you could flip utility without opening your wallet.
According to the marketplace description, batteries hold charge and the
led worklights function key checks for tool life and now
the Seattle special weirdness. We adore a life sized fiberglass
salmon sculpture posted on Craigslist out of Georgetown for one
(03:34):
hundred and fifty dollars. Previously a prop at a seafood festival.
It's roughly six feet long, hand painted with a mounting bracket.
Is it necessary? Absolutely not? Is it uniquely Seattle? Oh honey,
it's pike Place energy in three D event Rental shops
would charge one hundred dollars per day for this kind
of display. You could rent it to restaurants for seasonal promos,
(03:58):
stick it on your wall for maximum quirk, or parade
it during seafare and become a neighborhood legend. Bizarre Yes,
bad investment, not at one hundred and fifty dollars. A
few Seattle savvy negotiating tips, message fast and kind, ask
is it still available, plus any flexibility on price if
I pick up today bundle. If the seller has multiple listings,
(04:21):
especially furniture and tools, always check function, run the espresso, shot,
test the drill, under load, spin the bike wheels and
squeeze braks hard, Bring cash and a Venmo back up
in an apartment dense zones like slu or Capitol Hill,
pre measure your elevators and hatchbacks to avoid the dreaded
curb side cry listeners. These findes move quickly in our city,
(04:44):
so if one sparks joy and spreadsheets, pounce with a plan,
confirm condition, lock, pick up and bring straps, blankets and
a friend with opinions and snacks. That's the Pennyway, Smart,
swift and a little sparkly. Thanks tuning in and don't
