Man Trades Paperclip for House

Kyle MacDonald had a red paperclip and posted an ad on craigslist, offering to trade it for something bigger and better. His goal? To trade his way into a house. After a year of trading from doorknobs to snowmobiles to meetings with Alice Cooper, to a snowglobe, it looks like tomorrow is the day that his trading days come to an end as he trades his way into a 3 bedroom house in the town of Kipling in Canada.
