Default One Paper Clip trading up to a house

I heard about this guy who decided to trade up, starting from a paper clip, and wants to eventually get a house. Starting from July of last year, he has trade up from clip to a one year free rent in Phoenix! People just want to give away better things for trade, perhaps to get publicity but this is crazy. Check out his website.

Pretty interesting!

I think the only REALLY outrageous trades were the instant party for the snowmobile and the trip to Yahk for the cube van (aka box truck). Those seemed a little off balance. But all the rest of the trades seemed pretty fair.

Over the past 10 trades, though, he went from paper clip (less than penny) to year rent in Pheonix (I would guess well over $10,000). Not too bad of a return for 9 months of work.
