Sometimes, the coolest ideas are the simplest ones.

Too bad he already traded it. I have a house in Las Vegas that I'd trade for a red paper clip.

A guy tried that when I was at buccaneer days (kind of a pirate marti gras), when he came to my group he had a couple bud lights.....after we stopped laughing we told him to come back when he had something better to trade, he never did, my guess is no one wanted the bud light.

I think that with Internet exposure, this guy'll end up doing pretty good. He'll either end up with a big-ticket item, or an incredibly awesome book deal. Either way, he's genius for taking his idea online.

Just like the first guy he started the "send me a dollar" campaign. From what I remember, he ended up doing pretty well. Everyone after him, not so much.
