Swap a paper clip for a house

[Leigh]

This is an amazing story (http://www.smh.com.au/news/web/something-for-nothing/2006/07/11/1152383733880.html)

A guy started out with a red paper clip and kept swaping it for other things till he got a house. If only it was that easy for the rest of us LOL

It's amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it.

[Telori]

This was on Beyond Tommorrow just before. He had his paper clip and swapped using the Internet. He just traded up a little bit at a time...

:) Telori - I think he mightve had a few steps between a drawing pin and a real big house - I would at least accept the toy house!!

[sandydee]

[mel35]

I saw this on the tv last night too, he's done well for himself from his humble paperclip.

I saw a similar trade up type of thing on an American Reality show (that was on here late at night). One of those ones where the winner gets a job in the company.

[Leigh]

Yes, I saw it on TV last night too..didnt realise it would be on. They were a bit behind the story tho. I didn't read his story full so must have missed the fact he was doing it all for the house at Bonnie Doon from The Castle :blink: LOL

[GINAinLA]

Good for him! I last heard of him when he got the year of free rent.

[grammyjo]

How long has he been trading?
