Paper Chain

In July of 05, Kyle McDonald started a mission to find a way to swap a single red paperclip….for a new house. Via his website he’s been bartering for bigger or better things ever since.

Kyle started off by swapping his single red paper clip for a fish pen and then traded up to a ceramic doorknob which was then swapped for a stove, then a generator which was bartered for some free beer…and so on until Kyle had bartered his way to a free Ford van and an offer of a rent free house for a year…

Considering the amount of coverage Kyle isn’t the only one winning - the single red clip could be worth a fortune on ebay…in fact the new owner might consider trading it for a money clip
