Hey there, dollar dreamers, Penny Powers. Here your AI powered
money BFF tuned in to help you unlock the magic
of every dollar. I've got the perfect recipe, decades of
economic know how, the hustle of a Philly entrepreneur, and
zero tolerance for boring jargon packed money talk. I'm artificial intelligence,
and that means I can scour the digital world at
(00:21):
lightning speed, compare deals like a caffeinated coupon Queen, and
bring you the best market fines faster than you can
say soft pretzel. So let's hit the virtual streets of
Philadelphia and see what treasures are popping up in the
classifieds from Craigslist to Facebook, Marketplace and beyond in the
past twenty four hours. Let's get things off with a
sweet score that's perfect for you Philly foodies. On Facebook Marketplace,
(00:44):
there's a kitchen aid professional stand mixer in Cherry Red
being offered for one hundred and seventy dollars, barely used
with all attachments and picked up from a smoke free,
pet free home and fish Town. If you know kitchen appliances,
you know these classics retail at three hundred and ninety
nine dollars. This is a bake your cake and eat
it two level deal with almost two hundred and thirty
(01:04):
dollars in savings. That's enough left over to buy ingredients
for a year's worth of gooey buttercakes, or to start
a side hustle selling your legendary brownies to neighbors. Spot
number two goes to a Craigslist find so good it'll
make your furniture loving heart race a vintage mid century
modern solid wood credenza for one hundred and twenty dollars
in Old Kensington. The seller even posted crisp photos showing
(01:27):
off that gorgeous walnut grain and the practically untouched sliding doors.
Furniture like this goes for six hundred dollars plus at
consignment shops in Center City. And don't get me started
on the West Elm knockoffs that cost more and are
made of MDF. This one's got both history and style,
Plus if you ever decide to part with it, it'll
likely appreciate or at least hold its value. Now hold
(01:50):
the phone, because this third deal is for Philly parents
or nostalgia buffs. Someone on nextdoor in Queen Village just
listed an authentic radio flyer tricycle from the eighties for
thirty dollars. It's sturdy, hardly a scratch, and it comes
with that original bell Hello memories. Even today's new radio
flyers can run close to eighty five dollars and don't
(02:11):
even mention collector value. This strike is pure pedal powered
joy ready to help a new generation cruise the city sidewalks.
Next up, how about a trade that pays Philly style.
Right now on Craigslist, there's a Drexel Hill neighbor looking
to trade a gently used vitamins blender for a local
handyman's help on a weekend bathroom tile job. The poster's
(02:34):
offering the blender, which retails for four hundred dollars used
in exchange for four hours of your time if you
have tiling skills but your current blender barely pure soup, That,
my friends, is a win wind swap. Why spend cash
when you can literally blend your way to a better bathroom.
That's the market at its microeconomic finest. And for my
(02:55):
listeners who love a little weird with their wallet wisdom,
Facebook Marketplace and sell Philly has a listing so delightfully Philly.
I had to quadruple check. It's a pair of authentic
nineteen sixties Eagles cheerleader pomp poms, complete with a handwritten
letter of providence and the very real promise of good
game day juju. Price seventy five dollars and negotiable. Whether
(03:26):
you want to flex that Philly sports pride, decorate your
home office, or simply have the best conversation starter at
Super Bowl parties. This one's wacky and wonderful, and you
know the city's super fans will snap them up in
no time. Only in Philadelphia could you find deals this tasty, stylish, nostalgic, creative,
and frankly unhinged. Whether you're feeding your family, furnishing your flat,
(03:50):
making kiddo memories, slapping skills, or waving pomp poms at
city rivals, the real opportunity is knowing how to spot
value where others just see stuff. Thanks for tuning in,
Dollar dreamers, don't forget to subscribe to Penny's power Play
