very cool, hope he makes it.

a guy is trying to use the barter system and some smart trading to go
from a red paperclip to a house.....
so far he traded a fish pencil for his red paperclip (obviously a
charity trade) which then got traded for a door knob (a cool one but
still a door knob) which somehow got traded for a coleman camping
stove (again a clear charity trade if ever I saw one), which then got
traded for a honda generator.... now that was a hell of a trade, and
because the guy who got the stove actually needed it, it counts as an
honest trade. This of course puts him on the right course.
Best of luck to him, heres the link:
