The things that bartering can get you.

In our every day world, money is king. You can't do anything, get anything or go anywhere without spending any money. Or maybe you can. Enter Kyle MacDonald one year ago he decided to try and trade One Red Paperclip for a house. No, the paperclip wasn't special. But apparently he is. Through a cunning use of Craig's List he has traded his way across the country and with big stars, to finally achieve his goal, a house. The city of Kipling in Saskatchewan traded a 3 bedroom, 1100 square foot house for a speaking role in a Hollywood movie. He has been on Good Morning America and the likes in three countries.
So for all you out there, I guess you still can't get something for nothing, but apparently you can get a 3 bedroom house for a red paper clip.
