One Red Paperclip

one red paperclip
Just One Red Paperclip. That's all he traded for the first time until he traded for a house! The guy name was Kyle MacDonald. He started with one red paperclip on July 12 2005 and 14 trades later, on July 12, 2006 he traded with the Town of Kipling Saskatchewan for a house located at 503 Main Street. Is that awsome! I read this guy book, One Red Paperclip last few weeks when I was in MPH bookstore Seremban 2, Negeri Sembilan.

I am triggered to write about Kyle, because I was so amazed to know the power of bartering system still works. After google around, I found Kyle web blog which stories everything.
First, he traded one red paperclip for a fish pen that floats on water.
