One red paperclip

I thought the story of the "one red paperclip" was really interesting. At first, I was confused and did not understand why he was trying to trade a red paperclip for a house. I really did not think that was going to happen. However, he did indeed trade the red paperclip for an item and then continued trading. He eventually did get a house. Therefore, he got a house for a red paperclip. The story really is crazy, yet amazing at the same time. Some people's junk are other people's treasure. So, although he may have been seen as a slacker and lazy, he ended up with a house becuase he posted a picture of a red paperclip and explained his story of how he wanted a house. Wow...crazy stuff.
