guy attempting to trade a paperclip for house.

[mjime714]

Well not straight up. He is trading up from a paperclip to larger things to eventually a house.

Here is his progress:

Paperclip > pen
pen > doorknob
doorknob > camping stove
stove > generator
generator > keg of beer
keg of beer > older jet ski
jet ski > trip to yahk
trip > moving van
moving van > recording contract

Thats where he is at now.. You can follow his progress at http://oneredpaperclip.com/

I was heard this on the radio and I always kick myself in the ass. Its kinda like that kid that was selling pixel ads on that million dollar web page thing.

WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT! kind of thing.

i bet i could do something like that around here but i dont need a house but i wouldnt mind a new car so i dont have to pay for one like i am getting ready to do

you think someone could trade start with a guppy and end with an asian aro??

 

[fishnthings]

no........

man that is hiliarious.. I hope he gets the house..

it's all how much each person values each of those things, i don't think you can do asian aro because if someone has an asian aro he probably knows how much it cost and such, unless you get really lucky and find someone who inherited an asian aro and is trying to get rid of it, i don't think trading up to a smallish silver is unrealistic though, it can be done
