Kyle MacDonald began making a series of trades last year with the ultimate goal of getting a house.
He began on July 12th, 2005 with one red paperclip (hence the blog name). MacDonald, through shrewd and timely exchanges, recently traded a cube van for a recording contract.
Incredible! I suspect that the fun promotion will ultimately pan out for Kyle MacDonald.
Grand fun reading the various trades and offers that MacDonald has entertained over the past eight months.
3 extra chunks of wisdom:
What a cool, neat idea. Wonder if I started out with more than one red paperclip, what I could I eventually get?
Let me see . . . what would you give me for a glass mug that proclaims Toledo as the "Glass Capital of the World"?

OK - I'll give you a kid's bike. Got too many of those right now.
