the goods, all right, La, grab your oatmelt lattes. Let's
dive into these sparkly steals. First up rolling onto the
(00:42):
scene like the proud owner of the sunniest driveway in
Echo Park, We've got an electric bike from Craigslist posted
at four hundred dollars. This beauty is barely used, sports
fresh tires and comes with a heavy duty lock. Considering
new versions run north of one two hundred dollars, this
is base like finding four hundred bucks in your glove box.

Think of all the gas you'll save zipping to work,
to pilates or to that food truck on Abbot Kinney
that's never in the same place twice. With LA gas prices,

and in my dog is allergic to polost here, please
help me condition. This is interior design on a Ramen
budget dollar dreamers, and it'll look so good you'll want
to host a game night just to show it off.

offer up, there's a Vitam mixed Blendor Yes, the Rolls

overpriced juice barse Now, Penny always loves a good trade
because cash flow isn't always so well cashy. One enterprising
local on Craigslist is looking to swap a pair of
concert tickets for a sold out Hollywood Bowl show in
exchange for a few hours of website building or social
(02:29):
media savvy. That's right, no money required, just some skills.
Call it the barter system two point zero La style.

and you're under the stars with live music and picnic snacks.
And because Los Angeles never disappoints in the what did
I just see? Department, you have to hear about this.

foot tall animatronic t rex like teeth, tail and tiny arms,
