    Im sure many of you remember the guy from Canada who swapped a red paper clip for more valuable items until he got a house. When the story broke I didn't take it to seriously but my local news showed a story about a guy who started with a paperclip and after several swaps ended up with a $4000 speed boat. Pretty good for a years work. The guy also claimed he found it fun and made loads of contacts to swap with on a regular basis.

    The news report explained that he used a website but they only showed a part of the URL. Does anyone know what it is?

    Also what if he started with 10 paper clips, that would $40,000 from a few cents!

    The Little Red Paper Clip guy wrote a book. I think it was called The Little Red Paper Clip...
