One Red Paperclip
April 16th, 2006 Edit
Okay, this is pure genius. This guy, Kyle MacDonald, decided on a little social experiement. He decided to try and trade one red paperclip for something else, and eventually keep trading up and up and up… until he owns a home. Well he is up to one year in Phoenix. And he is not giving up until he owns his own home. He also currently has offers for one summer in Hollywood, a 30 second commercial (the free press he is getting will supercede this, so this is mute). I am sure I am oversimplifying his plight, but you can read more here.
