The Big Trade - From Paper Clip to House

Having been inspired by Kyle MacDonald's 'one red paper clip' (http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/ , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_red_paperclip) I had been wanting to do something similar for a while. For those of you who don't know the story, basically Kyle started out with a paperclip and traded it for something else and then traded the new thing for something else, until he worked his way up to a house.

Unfortunately when I decided to start my own big trade I wasn't aware that Kyle's paperclip had in fact been giant and red. As such, when I came across my slightly larger than normal, gray paperclip, I was rather pleased with myself.

Since then I've been trading on facebook The Big Trade - From Paperclip to House and now I've decided to start a blog.

This is the story so far...
