Trade a paperclip for a house!

[Pimpin_29y]

A guy in Montreal started with one red paperclip on July 12th, 2005 and is making a series of trades for bigger or better things. He traded for a fishpen and that for a doorknob and then for a coleman stove and the list goes on and on...I think he\'s gonna actually pull it off and get his house!

Yup! He got lots of publicity to promote his trading...I wonder if someone will swap their Lamborghini for my 3?:D

The fact that it is now spreading so fast across the net only makes it easier for him IMO as people may want to be a part of the whole thing.

Cool idea though.

If he can go from a paperclip to a house i\'m sure a 3 to a Lambo is possible.
