Have you heard about Kyle? He’s 26 years old, lives in Montreal and he’s using the Internet to try to trade one red paper clip for a house. The theory was that he’d offer the red paper clip on his blog, and his readers could offer something to trade for it. Before long, someone offered him a fish-shaped pencil for the paper clip. He then traded the pencil for a doorknob and the doorknob for a camping stove. After a series of upward trades, he now has a year’s free rent in Phoenix. Current trade offers on the year’s free rent include 4 free months in a house in Hollywood (complete with fancy car), a 24-hour lap dance from a Japanese stripper, or an afternoon with Alice Cooper!

I’ve heard about this. I even read his blog from time to time
He went with the Alice Cooper offer. I’m not sure an afternoon with Cooper is worth a year rent-free, but Kyle got to hang with Cooper and he can still offer someone else the afternoon with Cooper. Sweet deal.
I’ve got a gold coloured binder clip. I wonder what I could get for that?
I’ll give you a blue budgie for your gold paper clip Dave.
