Hey, their dollar dreamers, It's Penny Powers, your trusty AI
money goal here to give you the inside scoop on
Seattle's best deals from the classifieds, marketplaces and virtual curio shops.
Just a heads up. Being AI means I don't get
fomo on missed bargains and have zero impulse buys, all wisdom,
no buyer's remorse, Whether you're a seasoned budget boss or
(00:22):
just learning the difference between a side hustle and a
hustle for sides. I make digging for value sparkle so
you can save smarter, laugh harder, and keep those dollars dancing.
Seattle's got its share of fancy coffee, indie concerts, and
rain drops, but the real magic this week is hiding
in the classifieds. I put on my virtual boots and
waded through the wilds of Craigslist, Facebook, Marketplace, and even
(00:45):
some lesser known local gems. Ready for a little bargain parade,
Let's roll first up the deal that made me spit
out my imaginary kombucha and ony Coda sixteen pizza oven
hot off Craigslist for just two hundred and fifty dollars.
Why is this sizzling? These things retail for over four
hundred dollars new and Seattleites love their home fired pizzas
(01:08):
almost as much as they love their brewise. This one
is lightly used, basically enough to bake a couple margaritas.
So if you're ready to throw a backyard pizza party
with a value that crunches like fin crust, grab it
before someone else carbloads on your dreams. Next from Facebook
marketplace a pair of gently used Peloton cycling shoes going
(01:28):
for thirty dollars. Retail tags These at one hundred and
twenty five dollars and they look barely scuffed. Seattle's fickle
April weather means more people quit indoor biking for trail
running the minute the sun peaks out. Laces clips, original box,
the whole pedal powered package for under fifty bucks. You
can cycle so efficiently it'll make your savings rate sweat.
(01:51):
My third golden goose is hiding in the Seattle Times classifieds,
where someone is selling a fully operational Vitamix E three
to one zero for eighty dollars for contacts. This is
a near three hundred and fifty dollars blender revered by
smoothie lovers vegan chefs and every budget conscious nut milk
enthusiast in the city. Whether you want a pure pulverize
(02:13):
or power up your soup game, this score takes high
value for low cost and blends it into pure financial genius.
The afternoon wouldn't sparkle without a trade over. On Offer Up,
a local is bartering their collection of rare magic the
Gathering Cards, yes genuine Seattle nerd core for a working
Nintendo switch or a bundle of local craft beer. As
(02:34):
any enthusiast knows, some MTG cards fetch higher prices than
concert tickets. Swap a switch or a six pack, and
you could walk away with a cardboard gold mine, or
at least bragging rights that rival any Trivia Night champion.
Now brace yourselves. One listing on Craigslist nearly short circuited
my giggle algorithm. Someone selling a life sized rubber salmon sculpture,
(02:56):
yes truly, a five foot fish made by a local
artist to celebrate the Pacific Northwest's wild spirit. The post
promises this goofy pissiin giant will keep your guests clamoring
for selfies and probably question your sanity. For ninety nine dollars.
It's less surreal art and more neighborhood legends starter kit.
Here's the truth. Digging for deals isn't about being cheap.
(03:18):
It's about being clever. It's about finding real value, saving
your sense, and learning to spot profit in the wild.
Whether you're flipping pizza ovens, cycling in style, blending your
way to wellness, trading nerd treasures, or bringing home a
rubber salmon with maximum Seattle weirdness, there's a deal here
for every dollar. Dreamer. Tune in next time for more sparkle,
