One Red Paperclip

So this is a real thing. A guy started off with one single red paper-clip, and over the course of a year he traded it for more and more things including but not limited to, a recording contract, and a paid role in a movie, and in the end of they year he had turned his red paper clip into... A house, furnished and all!

This is a few years old now, but I'm sharing it in case anyone has missed it.

Pretty crazy tbh.

EDIT - follow the original blog that he wrote throughout the year here : http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/

This is thing is all over Chicken Smoothie. People are posting threads with a really common pet, then they work themselves up to some of the rarest pets in CS. I was amazed at how fast they did it. O.o
