Paperclip Blogger Finally Trades for a House Kyle MacDonald, the paperclip blogger, made his final trade that landed him a house in Kipling, Saskatchewan earlier this summer. Kyle began his trading with a red paperclip and continued to trade up for better and better things until he end up with the house in Canada.
A Canadian blogger who ambitiously aimed to swap a paper clip for a house arrived in Kipling, Sask., on Wednesday to complete the trade.We documented a couple of Kyle's earlier trades here and here. You can also read more about Kyle's trading adventures on his blog. It was a clever idea but it is unlikely anyone will ever have as much luck trading with a red paperclip again. Posted on September 20, 2006 Permalink | | | Comments (View) | When we last left Kyle MacDonald he had managed to trade his red paperclip for several items. His last trade back in November was a red generator for an instant party. Since then his trades have included items like a skidoo and a trip to Yahk. And now the clever trader has worked his way up to one year's free rent at a rental house.
After a cross-continental trading trek involving a fish-shaped pen, a town named Yahk and the Web's astonishing ability to bestow celebrity, MacDonald is getting close. He's up to one year's free rent on a house in Phoenix.Good for Kyle. He has almost achieved his original goal: "I'm going to keep trading for bigger or better things until I get a house." He has a house for one year. Will he be able to achieve his ultimate goal of owning a home? You can keep up with Kyle's trading at his blog.
