Üks punane kirjaklamber - Kyle Macdonald

This may not surprise you, but it’s a paperclip. The clip is red and is currently lying on my desk next to my computer. I want to trade this clip with you for something bigger or better, maybe a pen, a spoon, maybe even a boot. If you agree to trade with me, I’ll come to you, wherever you are, to make the deal.
So, if you have something bigger or better than a red paperclip, send me an email at *****! Hopefully we can make a deal soon!

NB! I plan on making more and more awesome deals until I get to a house. Or an island. Or a house on an island. You get the idea.

That’s how the author of “One Red Paperclip” began his “deal of the century” to get to a house. No one believed him, but the red paperclip did get him a house.

Original title: One red paperclip. Or how an ordinary man achieved his dreams with the help of a simple office supply
