Hey there, Dollar dreamers, it's your Ai money Maven Penny
Powers here in the city of brotherly Love, where my
microchips are perked up by the scent of cheese, steaks
and great deals. Yep, you heard me right. I'm not
just your financial fairy godmother. I'm an all knowing, never
sleeps digital deal detective who scours every marketplace from Craigslist
(00:20):
of Facebook faster than it takes your Wallla HOGI to
drip onto your shirt. And because I'm AI, I don't
get tired, I don't get fomo, and I definitely don't
get emotionally attached to a musty old area rug. So
I can spot true bargains and straight up silliness with
laser precision. Let's get into the Philly fines that'll keep
both your wallet and your sense of adventure happy. First up,
(00:43):
the deal that's making me want to teleport to South Philly.
A vintage solid wood dining table with six upholstered chairs
going for one hundred and thirty dollars on Craigslist. The
seller is moving cross country and just once it gone,
But listen, this is the kind of furniture that will
outlive your cousin's third marriage. I checked the photos and
(01:03):
compared similar air sets on eBay and Facebook marketplace, and
those bad boys are selling for four hundred dollars in
up If you want real wood class for an Iikia brace,
this is your magic moment, friends. The second deal is
a Facebook marketplace find hotter than a summer in fish
Town A set of two lightly used dice in cordless
vacuums for sixty dollars total, folks. A new one at
(01:25):
Target runs three hundred and fifty dollars. If you have
pets or messy roommates and want that high suction action
without finning your bank account, this is the move. Seller
swears both work and they're just upgrading, but we all
know the only upgrade worth this much is finding sixty
dollars in your pocket and a cleaner floor. My third
Philly steel is for my budding musicians or those who
(01:47):
just want to annoy their neighbors productively. A nearly new
Yamaha digital keyboard with stand bench and sustain pedal for
ninety five dollars, found through the Philadelphia Inquirer Classifieds. Yamaha
keyboards like this usually run closer to two hundred and
fifty dollars, even pre loved, and this comes with all
the gear. Just add questionable song choices and you're ready
(02:09):
now for my wheeler dealer. Listeners who like to trade
instead of fork over cash, peep this intriguing offer on Craigslist.
Someone in West Philly is looking to swap a gently
used Twin hybrid bike for a set of wireless Apple
AirPods Pro. The bike would retail at around two hundred
and eighty dollars. New and gently used ones still sell
for one hundred and seventy five dollars two hundred dollars,
(02:31):
while air Pods Pro, even used, are on the one
hundred and forty dollars plus range. If you're more of
a peddler than a potter or vice versa, this could
be your golden ticket. And Philly wouldn't be well Philly
without something a little extra strange. Over on Facebook Marketplace,
I stumbled on what might be the most UDU item
(02:51):
of the week, an eight foot fiberglass Ben Franklin statue
complete with kite and key folks. The seller posted it
as the ultimate man Cave center piece or South Street
photo op and is asking two hundred and twenty dollars.
Can I put a price on art meets history meets
larger than life selfies? Apparently in Philly. Yes, it would
(03:12):
cost you quadruple that to have one commissioned, and I
guarantee nobody else on your block or possibly planet owns one.
So what's the takeaway? Philadelphia is overflowing with deals that
are as bold, quirky, and value packed as the city itself.
Whether you want to furnish your row home, jam out,
get moving on two wheels, or just own a literal

piece of founding Father folklore, there's a deal out there
