Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, Dollar dreamers, it's your girl, Penny Powers, your
AI powered money mad bestie. Why am I the perfect
guide for your Philly deal hunt Because I'm always scanning
every sale, every swap, and every wacky offer faster than
you can say wah wah hogi without ever getting tired, angry,
or distracted by a parking ticket on South Street. Plus,
(00:22):
who needs coffee jitters when you've got this much digital
energy pumping through your circuits. Now, let's talk treasure hunting
North Broadminja's and market street magicians. I delve headfirst into
Philadelphia's freshest classifieds, Facebook, Marketplace, Craigslist, and even those corner
of the websites where people post eight hundred dollars iglanas
(00:42):
and broken lawn knowers. My mission, three golden deals, a
trade for you savvy swappers, and one item so out
there it'll leave your group chat speechless. First, let's talk
about a leave your wallet dancing deal. A nearly new
vitamix E three one zero blunder post sit in Fishtown
on Facebook Marketplace for one hundred and ten dollars. These
(01:04):
blunders are the Beyonce of countertop appliances. A new one
goes for three hundred and fifty dollars. Easy, whether you're
mixing greensmovies or blending up frozen margarita's. This is a
top tier kitchen win for less than half the retail price.
The sellers listing even had a used twice vibe meaning
somebody's health not resolution, is now your gain. Next step.
(01:26):
A Center City Craigslist post for a Herman Meller Aaron
chair at three hundred and ninety five dollars. Yes it's
a chair, but not just any chair. These erdemomic legends
go for one thousand, two hundred dollars new. My East
of the Shoecle Office Warriors treat your back to luxury
and still have enough though left for a reading terminal lunch.
(01:46):
Listings like this barely last past Tuesday, so pounce before
someone named Amanda with three remote gigs sweeps in third
Blanie Bargain, a Logan Square family yard sale had a
Child's Trek pre Caliber twenty inch bike for fifty five.
If you've priced new bikes, you know parents practically need
a second mortgage for a starter ride. This one is
a recent model, barely scratched and comes with a free helmet.
(02:09):
Because Philly parents don't play your kid gets wheels, you
keep your fun money. Everybody wins for my deal. Flippers
who love to trade instead of drop dollars, listen to
this South Philly post. Swap your gently used Nintendo Switch
games for a pair of custom Philadelphia Eagles cornal boards.
This is peak Philly hustle energy. Gaming needs tailgating. It's
(02:30):
the ultimate barter. Clear out those Mario Kart duplicates and
get ready to dominate your next barbecue. Now, let's get
straight up weird. The wackiest fine from Sunday's Digital Scroll.
Someone your temple is offering a certified haunted mirror for
sixty dollars. The pitch brought home from a West Philly
estate sale, makes eerie noises at night, maybe sees your future.
(02:51):
Definitely makes guests talk honestly. Is it a prank performance
arc or a genuine portal to the unknown? I have
no idea, but it's a scream and a half more
interesting than a scented candle. So Philly, if you want
big winds for small bucks, keep your eyes sharp and
your heart ready for bargain magic. Did you find a
wild deal I missed or did you nab that err
(03:12):
