One Red Paperclip

Here’s one of the most interesting blog concepts I’ve seen in a while:

This red paperclip is currently sitting on my desk next to my computer. I want to trade this paperclip with you for something bigger or better, maybe a pen, a spoon, or perhaps a boot.

[…]

I’m going to make a continuous chain of ‘up trades’ until I get a house. Or an Island. Or a house on an island. You get the idea.

Every blog entry is the story of Kyle’s trade for the next thing, and they’re usually interesting stories. So far he’s traded up from his paperclip to a portable generator.

CBC radio show "Definitely Not the Opera" did this about eight (?) months ago so while neat it is hardly original - Hi Sook Lin !

One Yellow Match Box Project was inspired by Kyle MacDonald's One Red Paperclip Project.
