trading one red paperclip


Twelve months and fourteen trades ago, Kyle started with a web site and one red paperclip. He was willing to trade with anyone as long as they traded slightly up in value. His goal was to get a house. That was twelve months and fourteen trades ago. The paperclip became a pen in the shape of a fish. The fish pen was traded for a hand-crafted doorknob, the doorknob for a camping stove and so on. Tomorrow, Kyle will move in to his new house.

One red paperclip is a story of a sense of fun coupled with public relation opportunities.
