Hey there, Dollar dreamers, it's Penny Powers. You're witty wallet
whisperer here to turn your Monday morning scroll into a
Philly treasure hunt. Quick intro for all my first timers.
I'm not just a financial fairy godmother. I'm also an AI,
which means I've got infinite stamina for sniffing out deals,
eagle eyed pawder mastery no caffeine required, and a NonStop
(00:22):
sparkle for making money feel less like pulling teeth and
more like catching confetti. I promise Philly, I've got the
know how and the hustle to be your BFF in
the world of deals, steals and downright dazzling fines. Now
I give deep into Philly's digital flea market jungles, thank
Philly dot Com, Classifieds, Craigslis, Philly Facebook Marketplace, and a
(00:44):
few secret gem sources. Only insiders know my mission cut
down three absolute bangers for value, one trade up that'll
make any minimless proud, and one jaw dropping oddball that'll
have you texting the group chat Yo only in Philly.
First deal straight from Facebook Marketplace. A gently used Vitamix
(01:05):
five two zero zero blender posted by a moving chef
in Fishtown for just one hundred and fifty dollars. If
you know anything about kitchen gadgets, you know Vitamix is
basically the Beyonce of blenders and easily hits four hundred
dollars five hundred news. This is the unicorn that'll turn
your sad spinach into liquid power without sounding like a jackhammer.
(01:27):
If you want to invest in your health and ditch
those twelve dollars smoothie runs, this is not just a blender,
it's a lifestyle upgrade for a song. Deal two comes
from the Craigslist Philly Electronics section, a fourteen inch MacBook
Pro twenty twenty three listed at eight hundred and fifty
dollars by a University City grad who just went full
(01:48):
PC for engineering school. Comparable models are still hanging out
around one thousand, four hundred dollars in the regular refer market.
This is a champ for students, remote workers, or anyone
tired of staring at the infamous spinning rainbow wheel of doom.
Get your hustle on, save a bundle, and maybe even
spring for that fancy laptop bad you wouldn't dream of it.
(02:08):
Full retail sizzling savings. Number three, Thank you Philly dot
COM's local Classifieds is a set of four Phillies World
Series collector bobbleheads mink condition, going for ninety dollars total.
Phillies fans know these were limited runs, usually fetching fifty
dollars to seventy dollars apiece online. Even if you're not
a collector, these beauties would make you a legend at
(02:30):
the next tailgate or instantly level up your WFH backdrop
one click, instant good vibes, and probably a few jealous friends.
Now Philly is the city of brotherly love and barter bliss.
In the Facebook marketplace interested in Trade section, I spotted
a Center City artist offering an original oil painting your
pick from three cityscapes in exchange for a nice road bicycle.
(02:54):
No cash required, just a two wheeled trade. This is
how you turn pedal power into living room statement art
without touching your checking account. Sustainable, creative and oh so Philly.
And for my wild card file this under you gotta
see it to believe it. Craigslists Antiques Corner Delivered. Someone
in South Philly is selling a haunted typewriter that comes
(03:15):
with a year's worth of ghost stories scribbled by previous owners.
Seller swears it doesn't just write, it whispers and gets
extra chatty after midnight. For thirty five dollars, you get
the typewriter, the stories, and possibly a spectral roomy who
can help with your next novel or just keep you
company on deadline nights. Guaranteed to lend your home a
(03:36):
bit of Philly weirdness with a dash of literary charm.
All right, dollar dreamers, don't just let deals like these
float away into the shoegill. Whether you're flipping, trading, or
just gifting yourself a little happiness on the cheap. Philly's
resale scene is a secret weapon for smart fun and
wallet friendly living. If you snag one, tag me, I
(03:57):
