Trade ya one red paperclip for your house

Posted on December 6, 2005
Filed Under Something to Think about |

Well, that is the dream of Kyle MacDonald of Montreal. He stared with one red paperclip, and is trying to barter his way to a house. So far he is up to a snowmobile.

Tonight he appeared on The Hour, and is also willing to promote his bartering items on any “ podcast, no matter how small, or big!”

Good luck Kyle! Hope this helps to spawn a larger barter system for society.
