The guy actually succeeded in trading up from a red paperclip to a house. It took him exactly one year! The blog listing all the trades is up at http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/ for those who didn't know about him.

Yeah in my economy class we had a week to try to try it out.. we didn't do so well but he had a lot more time. My hat is off to him. something big for almost literally nothing... the american dream.
I heard it on the radio yesterday that he got his house. Been following it off and on for a while. Congrats to Kyle. Very well done.
