Paperclip to tiny house:
Help a college student make a series of trades from a blue paperclip to a tiny house, which she will live in while in college.
I made my second trade over lunch today. I traded the "Dream" pencil for the Utopia 360 Virtual Reality Headset. Here's the product description: Experience a world beyond your imagination with the Utopia 360° headset. It's designed to work with your smartphone to take you on a sensory adventure through 3D movies, simulated games and immersive 360° apps. Jarrett, an Olivet student, was the one who traded with me. He shared with me that when he was in high school, he bought a PS3 for $5 and fixed it up, and traded it for a boat which he fixed up and sold for $4,000. His story was inspirational and I'm grateful for his trade. Now who would like to trade me something for this headset that will entertain you for hours? If you're interested in trading, please fill out the form on the "Want to Trade" page of this website or Facebook me.
Thank you for following this story. Please feel free to share it with your friends and family through word of mouth and social media. I am looking forward to meeting the next person that I get to trade with.

Guys, I have my first trade! How exciting! My amazing RA, Lexi, traded me this super duper cool Wooden "Dream" Pencil for my beautiful blue paperclip. She is passionate about tiny houses and dreams of having a coffee house on tiny house wheels one day. Life is full of dreams, and if you're like me, you're a dreamer. After all, that is why I started doing this whole trading thing. Do you have something you want to trade me for the Wooden "Dream" Pencil? If so, comment below or email me at [email protected]. Please feel free to share this blog post with your friends. The power of social media will expand my network for trading and help make my dream a reality. Thanks!
For the longest time I've thought that Kyle MacDonald, who made a series of trades starting with a red paperclip and ending with a house (oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com), had a crazy cool idea. If Kyle could trade a red paperclip for a house, I am confident that I can trade a blue paperclip for a tiny house, something I've dreamt about owning for a while but as a financially strapped college student, I don't have the capability to buy one.
I'm so excited to meet new people as I set out on this journey. Thank you in advance for those of you who choose to follow, share, and join this story as a trader. Would anyone like to trade me something bigger and better for this beautiful blue paperclip? YOU could be the person to own the super cool paperclip that lands me a tiny house one day! |
