This guy supposedly started with one red paperclip and made non-monetary trades for a year and ended up with a house in Saskatchewan. I got linked to this a little while ago so I havent read it through in detail yet but it seemed like an interesting concept. But its still a blog, maybe shens? who knows, you be the judge. But for further content, what was the best trade (or series of trades) you ever made?

I once traded my sony discman for a gameboy with 20 games. I think I did well on that one considering it was like 1994.

Heres that guys link: http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com

Edit: his site is kind of clunky and poorly laid out, like all blogs. oh well.

Its very true and the guy has snagged a book and movie deal from it.

awesome. Who offered the movie? If I had to guess it was dreamworks starring Tom Hanks :sucky:

Does blondie keep you under a rock or something? :lol: I've been hearing about this guy for months now. Least he's not as annoying as Branjalina.

saw a story on cnn about it a few weeks ago...crazy journey but I don't think there's enough there to make a book/movie
