Trading a paperclip for a house

[unixronin]

CNET reports on a guy from Montreal who, over the course of one year, has traded his way from a single paperclip to a house.  The amazing thing is it only took fourteen trades.

Almost makes me wonder what I could get for a paper clip.  I have lots of paper clips.  Anyone want to trade me something interesting for one?

.....Nah.  If I was going to attempt something like this, I'd want to start with something more interesting than a paper clip.

A genuine USSR paperclip? I didn't know that paperclips were into politics. (Although I will allow that they are all that hold some political positions together.)

Also a genuine antique, unless Putin gets his way...
