Life in the Trades

This morning, I was listening to Q on CBC Radio. As part of Jian Ghomeshi's introduction to a story, he mentioned Kyle MacDonald, a man who managed to trade one red paperclip for a house. Not directly, of course, but he traded the paperclip for a pen, the pen for a doorknob, the door knob for a Coleman stove, and so on... 14 trades later, he became the proud owner of a house in Kipling, SK. You can find Kyle's story here:

This story inspired me to attempt my own experiment. Starting today, I plan to trade a paperclip for a car (I tried to make my adventure original, but I couldn't think of anything more "worthless" than a paperclip). I have no idea how it's going to happen, but I plan not to rush or force a trade. Part of the fun is seeing where I end up!

I will include photos all along the way, so please check back!

Here is my first item!

Who knows what's next?
