I'll trade you this paperclip
Kyle MacDonald used to play a game when he was a kid. He would trade something small for something bigger, and keep trading up until he got something he wanted. He claims he wasn't very good at it. Now he is trading a paperclip for a house... well, sort of....
The game is called Bigger and Better. He thought about this game when he decided he should have a house, but can't even afford a down payment.
According to an article from the Halifax Herald:
For the paper clip, he got a pen. He traded the pen for a doorknob. He traded the doorknob for a camping stove. For the stove, he got a generator. For the generator, he got a neon Budweiser sign, an empty beer keg and an IOU to fill it. That party pack netted him a snowmobile, which he traded for a trip to the Canadian Rockies. He traded the trip for a van.
He says he is considering writing a book about his experience. But for now, if you would like to see how he is getting along you can bookmark his blog at www.oneredpaperclip.com. You can also use a link on his blog to submit your own trade offer.
