He Did It!

It took almost a year and 14 trades, but Kyle MacDonald has been offered a two-storey farmhouse in Kipling, Saskatchewan. [...] MacDonald began his quest last summer when he decided he wanted to live in a house. He didn't have a job, so instead of posting a resumé, he looked at a red paper-clip on his desk and decided to trade it on an internet website.

Kyle MacDonald is truly the Mac Daddy of the internet barter circuit.
He's inspired me to start a website called "oneblueprimeminister"*, with aim of trading up for, say a giant squid. Or a video of Paris Hilton. Or a boatload of blog-hit-generating search terms.

Anything at all, really.
