a neon greeneye for a deal. Why trust an AI

corner of the Metroplex's online bizarre at lightning speed. Let's
(00:21):
dive right into What's Poppin' and DFW classifieds, Facebook, Marketplace,
and Craigslist in the past twenty four hours. You'll want
to buckle up because these deals are fresher than a

that price deal an immaculate twenty twenty one trek Marlin's
six Mountain bike posted on Facebook, Marketplace and Plano. This

beauty's only two hundred and eighty dollars, and considering these
retailed north of eight hundred dollars, we're talking near new condition.
With all the gears, brakes and street cred. Your kaz
can handle perfect for tackling Katie Trail or just flexing
on that neighbor who still rides a ten speed From

Drake's sofa up for two hundred ninety dollars. Y'all these

suspicious smells. Nope, smells like victory. Snap this up and
your next home movie night becomes instant TikTok material for
those high octane types. Craigslist in Arlington delivered an absolute zinger,
a craftsman full tool chest with nearly one hundred hand tools, wrenches, sockets, hammers,
going for one hundred and twenty dollars. Just the rolling

got old LPs gathering dust and dreams of jamming out
on legit sound, this swap brings new music and major
nostalgia to both parties. That's what I call a win win,

the wall it needs its own disco ball. On Dallas
Craigslist General Section, someone listed a full sized, ridable, one
of a kind moomobile, a miniature school bus professionally painted
like a Holstein cow, horns and all. It's eight hundred

says it's ideal for parades, catering, or making your hoa

the puns alone. But could you imagine rolling up to
