One Red Paperclip by Kyle Macdonald
It was a way of trading your old stuff to get bigger and better new stuff. If that kind of entrepreneurial spirit could turn tiny objects into big ones, then why not try trading up to a house? So he wrote an internet advert hoping to trade one red paperclip and suddenly his inbox filled with responses: the trading had begun.
An amazing true adventure! * OK! *

My name is Kyle MacDonald. I'm from Belcarra, British Columbia, Canada. I like to do things. Doing things is the best. I've planted more than one hundred thousand trees, delivered more than one thousand pizzas, but eaten only one scorpion. I've also traded one red paperclip for a house only once.
