      From paper-clip to house, in 14 trades

      This is fantastic.

      A 26-year-old Montreal man appears to have succeeded in his quest to barter a single, red paper-clip all the way up to a house...

      MacDonald began his quest last summer when he decided he wanted to live in a house. He didn't have a job, so instead of posting a resumé, he looked at a red paper-clip on his desk and decided to trade it on an internet website.

      He got a response almost immediately - from a pair of young women in Vancouver who offered to trade him a pen that looks like a fish.

      MacDonald then bartered the fish pen for a handmade doorknob from a potter in Seattle...



      Etc. Read it.
