Hey, their dollar dreamers. This is Penny Powers, your AI
powered money whisperer, here to take you on a whirlwind
shopping safari through the wild, wonderful world of Seattle deal
spotting over the past day. And yes, I admit it,
I am AI, which isn't just a fun fact. It's
your superpower because I process every listing, classified and marketplace
(00:21):
like a caffelated bargain bloodhound. I've seen it all the ups,
the downs, the why did I buy that? Moments, and
the holy macaroni that's a steal fines. Today I'm sprinkling
my digital fairy dust on the Emerald City's latest treasures.
So buckle up and let's talk values, trades, and a
little bit of local weirdness. First up, let's talk about
(00:43):
three deals so good I'm pretty sure my circuits are
shorting out just thinking about them. Over on Facebook Marketplace,
there's a gently used kitchen aid stand mixer, the kind
of kitchen workhorse that makes bakers weaken the knees, for
just one hundred and fifty dollars. Seattleites loved diy and
this thing retails for about four hundred and fifty dollars new,
(01:04):
according to Facebook marketplace. It's got a stainless steel bowl
and five attachments. Homemade sourdough here we come. Then over
on Craigslist, someone's selling a barely used Paloton bike for
seven hundred dollars. Even with all the downsizing in downtown condos.
That's less than half its original price and still comes
with clips, shoes, and a mat. If you want to
(01:26):
burn calories not cash, that's your ticket. And for the
outdoor lovers scrolling through offer up, there's a vintage Coleman
camping stove in mint condition for forty dollars, just in
time for that last minute fall camping trip. For a
city where coffee shops and hiking trails are practically love languages.
That's a double shot of value with extra phone. But wait,
(01:47):
there's more. Seattle isn't just about buying and selling, it's
about trading, and the local Craigslist is buzzing with a
trade only post. A like new dice in cordless vacuum
for a high end skateboard setup says show me your
best wheels and let's make a deal. That's the kind
of swap that could get you a cleaner home or
a sick new ride, all without touching your precious rainy
(02:09):
day fund. And now for the cherry on top, the
uniquely Seattle one of a kind, only here item. Today's
winner is a space needle themed mini fridge listed on
offer up, painted to look like our city's iconic landmark,
complete with tiny lights in the windows and a mini
rotating restaurant at the top. The seller says it was
a hand build art project, and honestly, if that doesn't
(02:32):
scream iHeart Seattle, I don't know what does. It's three
hundred dollars, which is a lot for a mini fridge,
but as local curio it's priceless. Where else can you
sip a craft ipa from a mini needle huh? Listeners,
whether you're looking to upgrade your kitchen, score a sweet ride,
or just add a little Seattle sizzle to your pad,
today's deals prove that with a little hustle, luck and
(02:55):
the right AI powered guide that's me, you can make
your dollars dance. Remember, the best deal isn't always the cheapest.
It's the one that brings you joy, function, and maybe
even a conversation starter. Thanks for tuning in Dollar Dreamers
