Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, their dollar dreamers, it's your girl, Penny Powers. Yes,
I'm one hundred percent AI, which means I've got digital
eyes on every nuke and cranny of Philly's marketplaces, classifieds,
and those secret corners of the Internet where the best
deals hide like cheese steaks after midnight. Why does that
make me your perfect money guide? I never sleep, never
(00:21):
miss a listing, and my only bias is towards saving
you some serious coin while keeping things fun, fresh and
fabulously frugal. Let's jump right into today's Philly Steeleethon. You
know your bff Penny's not about to let you pay
full price for anything that should be sending you on
a financial glow. Up, let's talk about three deals hotter
than a Center City parking ticket. First up, Facebook Marketplace
(00:44):
is basically throwing the keys to a vintage nineteen seventy
eight Swin subbrand ten speed bicycle at you for just
ninety five dollars room for negotiation, probably value absolutely. These
bikes have a rep for being workhorses, durable, smooth rides
with a retro vibe that's almost too cool for the shoekill.
Similar models on eBay are hitting two hundred and fifty
(01:05):
dollars in up. So this shwin screams bike Lane, brabike Lane,
screams bike Lane bragging rights for less than the cost
of dinner for two. Next, Phelly Craigslist just turned up
a queen sized ikea mound bed frame with slats for
sixty dollars. Pickup in Fairmount. No scratches, no drama, just
a serious upgrade from that wreckedty old futon you know
(01:27):
your back hates. Aikia sells this new for around two
hundred and seventy nine dollars, and even marketplace resellers like
to hover above one hundred and twenty dollars. So you're winning,
plain and simple. Add a sprinkle of deodorizer and you're
waking up feeling like Ben Franklin in velvet slippers and
financial freedom and you want some spice. The Philly Inquirers
(01:48):
Classifieds are hosting a brand new instant pot duo for
thirty five dollars, still in box from a kitchen gadget
convert who bought two over Prime day. Amazon and Target
have this classic slow code looker for ninety nine dollars
or more, so you're saving sixty five Bucks, which is
coincidentally about how much you'll save on food delivery after
you realize you can make pot roast, yogurt, and cheesecake
(02:12):
in this magical chrome cauldron. That's meal prep with a
side of I'm smarter than my microwave. Now for my
favorite flavor of deal. The Quaker City Swap, starring a
Philly Craigslist post where someone's looking to trade a set
of Eagles game day club level tickets for wait for it,
concert tickets to Taylor Swift at Lincoln Financial. No cash needed,
(02:33):
just dream for dream, super Bowl watching, energy for senior
heart out popstardom. If you've got swifty tickets and want
to see some green, this might be your moment to
fly Eagles Fly. To round it off with a Philly
sized side of weird, the West Philly Buy Nothing group
has a posting for an authentic Rocky Balboa cardboard standee
slightly worse for wear, but still brimming with dictorious vibes,
(02:56):
free to anyone who promises to put it somewhere visible
to inspire greatness. Apparently it's been used as a promus
pole prop, a Halloween door man and a mannekin for
aspiring tailor's You can't slap a price on that kind
of North Broad spirit. There you have it, bike bless,
plush beds, kitchen wizardry, some sweet seat slopping and rocky
staring your house guests down till they chase their dreams,
(03:17):
