Introduction
Well I was never really into this entire blogging thing, but I think I may jump on the bandwagon, because I'm interested in doing a little experiment called the "Paperclip Trade". Now this has been done before, way before I could have comprehended such an idea. My inspiration comes from Kyle MacDonald, whom at the time traded a Red Paperclip for a fish shaped pen, then a ceramic knob, a camping stove, a generator, a beer keg and Budweiser Sign, a Snowmobile, a trip to the Canadian Rockies, a Supply Truck, and a recording contract, and then got a years paid rent in Phoenix, then he traded it to spend a day with Alice Cooper, then a Kiss Snow Globe, then he traded that for a movie role, and then he traded the movie role finally for a two-story farmhouse in Kipling, Saskatchewan. So now that you know the basis of his story, wont you help me get this paperclip trade started?
How it Works
Basically, as long as this entire project doesn't backfire, I'll be trading a paperclip, in return for another object that is greater/bigger than a paperclip. It's that easy! The hardest part of it will be sending the objects to and from another person, because unlike Kyle MacDonald, I do not have the time to travel to place to place trading other people, unless of course things start to lift off (Which I'm very uncertain of myself that it will.) So for the first few waves of trading I'll want to stay within my state of New York.
With Your Help
Hopefully I can get a lot of support from people like yourselves to help promote my journey, like Kyle MacDonald had. Especially with all the social networking we have out today, even posting the link to this blog once on your facebook page would be more than enough of an effort to help me get this trade started up. So please help me!
