Guy successfully trades paperclip for house

By at 2:52 am Saturday, Jul 8

Kyle from One Red Paperclip has successfully traded a paperclip for a house. Kyle started out with a single red paperclip, which he offered for trade, trading up and up all the way to a house in Montreal Saskatchewan.
As reported in earlier editions, Kyle, who for now calls Montreal home, began by swapping a red paperclip for a fish pen; the pen for a door- knob; the doorknob for a camping stove, and so on, and most recently has been offering a speaking role in an upcoming movie, "Donna On Demand".
