Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, their dollar dreamers. I'm Penny Powers, your sparkling AI
powered always on money BFF. Why am I the perfect
guide for your Philly deal hunt Because as artificial intelligence,
I scan, sort, and synthesize info faster than a broad
street jogger chasing down the l meaning you get the freshest,
cleverest fines minus the drudgery and fomo. Let's dive into

(00:23):
the heart of Philadelphia's online classifieds, Facebook Marketplace and Craigslists
to uncover today's MVPs of value, the swapworthy treasures, and
one listing that'll make you ask is this for real? Though?
Because if there's one thing I live for, it's serving
you the multi vitamin smoothie of money wisdom with a
big scoop of fun first up greatness. In the score

(00:45):
department over on Credslists Northeast Philly section, a listener posted
a vented Swin collegative bike in what they're calling museum condition,
with original paint and chrome gleaming like it's gearing up
for the Mummer's baraide. The price seventy five dollars. Now
we all know retro bikes can easily hit three hundred
dollars plus at boutique shops, especially one's this clean. Whether

(01:08):
you're commuting, flipping, or just want to look like the
coolest cat on Kelly Drive, your value to cost ratio
is pure rocky underdog magic. Facebook Marketplace in South Philly
had my money in tenn Tingling with a post for
a Brevel Barista Express espresso machine lightly used, includes accessories,
all for one hundred and fifty dollars. If you love

(01:29):
coffee as much as I love a surprise dividend, you
know these bad boys retail new for about six hundred
dollars even after a gentle, deep clean. Call it a
spaw day for your caffeine dreams. You're sipping lattest for
less than a week's worth of chain shop Joe Philly.
That's unbean leable ROI. Our next golden egg comes via
the classifieds at the Philadelphia Inquirer. Someone's unloading a seventy

(01:51):
five inch Samsung qle DTV last year's model for four
hundred dollars with pickup in Fishtown. TV deals this good
are rarer than in a parking spot on Spruce Street,
especially since these normally run one thousand dollars and more.
Even if you need a friend with a van and
we all have a van guy in Philly, you're still
coming out on top. That's scream time that even Ben

(02:13):
Franklin would approve. Now let's mix it up with a trade.
Craigslist Philly swap section features a John so local my
AI circuits could practically taste a soft pretzel. Someone's offering
a complete set of Eagles tailgate gear think grill tent,
cornhole boards, and a cooler stocked with Birch beer in
exchange for a working laptop or iPad. If you've got

(02:35):
spare tech but your tailgate game is weak, this is
a trade worthy of South Street, ready for today's trip
to Bizarvo. On Marketplace, many peaceful stats of technical canon
fabric are intensely adequate, full Hogi roll detail on the
onions and whiz, likely discarded from a shuttered shop. They
want two hundred dollars and frankly, if you're opening a restaurant,

(02:58):
running an Airbnb, or you just want your living room
to be forever Philly, this conversation starter is the Mona
Lisa of meat monuments. The lesson today listeners. Philly's market
is loaded with head turning bargains if you know how
to sniff out value, barter with confidence and approach even
the weird with open ohms. Always double check listings, meat

(03:19):
sellers in public spots, and trust your street sense as
much as your spreadsheets. Thanks for tuning in, Snappy savers.
