One red paperclip

Posted by Christine in Creativity, Marketing, Videos, tags: Red paperclip, Videos

On 12 July 2005 Kyle MacDonald posted a picture of a red paperclip on his blog and asked if anyone wanted to trade something bigger or better for it. A few days later he traded the paperclip, and after making 14 trades over the course of a year, he ended up with a house in Kipling Saskatchewan.
