    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.

    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.
