One Red Paperclip

One Red Paperclip
What a weird blog. This guy, starting in July of 2005, is attempting to trade up from one red paperclip to a house. He's currently up to having one year rent free in Phoenix. Check it out, it's kinda wild.

Wow! That's pretty crazy. That guy has alot of drive, but he has had some nice trades for basic garbage. I mean, some of those trades are ludicrous!

Definetly cool, but I think some people have made pretty unrealistic trades.

heh, oh he'll get the house, you'll see.
We used to do the same sort of thing all the time when I was younger. The bigger and better game, start with something stupid like a paper clip and keep trading for something bigger and better each time, at the end of an alloted time who ever has the best thing wins.
You could get some really awesome stuff.
