How One Red Paperclip was swapped for a House

On July 12, 2005, Kyle MacDonald (Montreal, Canada) started with one red paperclip and wanted to swap it and keep swapping until he had a house. 12 months later, July 12, 2006, he's done it! He was offered a house at 503 Main Street in Kipling (Saskatchewan, Canada)..

Why did he do it? Kyle says "Why not?", also "I pay rent but I'd like to own a house. I didn't have enough money for a house - but I did have one red paperclip."

How did he do it? It only took a blog and these 14 swaps:

• One Red Paperclip
• One Fish Pen
• One Doorknob
• One Stove
• One Generator
• One Beer Keg (with Neon Sign)
• One Skiddoo
• One Trip to Yahk
• One Van
• One Recording Contract
• One Year Free Rent
• One Afternoon with Alice Cooper
• One KISS snow globe
• One Movie Role
• One House

We congratulate Kyle for his ingenuity and persistence in achieving his goal. We also thank Kyle for showing the world the power of swap.

One Red Paperclip Book: Or How an Ordinary Man Achieved His Dream with the Help of a Simple Office Supply

Book Description

Kyle MacDonald had a paperclip. One red paperclip, a dream, and a book to write. And bills to pay. Oh, and a very patient girlfriend who was paying the rent while he was once again "between jobs." Kyle wanted to be able to provide for himself and his girlfriend, Dominique. He wanted to own his own home. He wanted something bigger than a paperclip. So he put an ad on Craigslist, the popular classifieds website, with the intention of trading that paperclip for something better. A girl in Vancouver offered him a fish pen in exchange for his paperclip. He traded the fish pen for a doorknob and the doorknob for a camping stove. Before long he had traded the camping stove for a generator for a neon sign. Not long after that, avid snow-globe collector and television star Corbin Bernsen and the small Canadian town of Kipling were involved, and Kyle was on to bigger and better things. In One Red Paperclip, Kyle takes you on a journey around the globe as he moves from paperclip holder to homeowner in just fourteen trades. With plenty of irreverent and insightful anecdotes and practical tips on how you can find your own paperclip and realize your dreams, he proves it's possible to succeed in life and achieve your dreams on your own terms. Quirky and inspirational, this story of a regular guy and a small, red, now-legendary paperclip will have you looking at your office supplies-and your life-in a whole new way.
