one red paper clip

got him this

one big house

Finally the blogger who wanted a house and started trading his red paper clip moved into his new home last sunday and most of the town residents threw him a house warming party. I blogged about his quest back in December 2005.

During the party, he also proposed to his long-time girlfriend using the same red paperclip that started it all. 12 of the 14 traders during his journey were also present.


The following are the things that changed hands.

  • a doorknob
  • a Coleman stove
  • a power generator
  • a keg of beer
  • a snowmobile
  • a trip to Yahk, B.C.
  • a cube van
  • a recording contract
  • a year’s free lodging in a Phoenix bungalow
  • an afternoon with rock icon Alice Cooper
  • a KISS snow globe
