This is no joke, such an incredible story really took place in Canada with a simple guy named Kylie MacDonald. He thought that the old childish game of exchanging cheap things for more expensive ones might benefit him. Starting by trading a fish pen instead of a large paper clip, and going through many stages, including the most unimaginable exchange options, Kylie eventually became the owner of a house in Toronto.
Necessary
- - red paper clip;
- - camera;
- - Internet connection;
- - patience;
Instructions
Step 1
The story is incredible, but if it already took place, it is worth trying to repeat it, hoping that luck will turn its face not only to Kylie MacDonald. His paper clip was red, so you should get one so you don't break the rules. You also need to remember that it was big, so that the exchange would end with a good house, and not some kind of shed.
Step 2
Now is the time to start looking for the best sites on the Internet where people get rid of all unnecessary things in search of something valuable. There are enough of them. To do this, you need to make a request in a search engine, formulating it "sites for the exchange of things." You can also add relevant social media pages here to expand your audience. After completing the registration in all the necessary places, you can proceed to the next stage.
Step 3
Photos of a similar paper clip from the Internet will not be an entirely honest option. We'll have to photograph the one that will later turn into a chic mansion. It is better to make several angles and slightly give it a final polish in Photoshop - the product is served face-to-face.
Step 4
Next, you need to make a competent and attractive description in order to generate interest from the public. You should not resort to deceiving customers and try to ascribe non-existent advantages to a paper clip in the form of the fact that it once served Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin for binding letters from Natalya Nikolaevna. They won't believe it. There were no red paper clips then. If we come up with something, then something more believable.
Step 5
After posting information with a proposal to exchange for some useful thing, an exciting waiting period sets in. It should not be forgotten that the proposals received must be considered very meticulously. Each next stage should be much more expensive and more attractive than the previous one. This process will require a lot of patience and constant analysis of the economic feasibility of the proposals made.
Step 6
The path from a paper clip to home isn't as easy as you'd like. As an example and for analyzing the work done by Kylie MacDonald, a list of the stages he went through may help: a large red paper clip; handle in the form of a fish; a doorknob in the shape of a smiling man; barbecue grill; generator; barrel of beer; Ski-Doo snowmobile; travel to the city of Yakh; truck; 30 hours of free work in a recording studio in Toronto; and finally - an offer to live in the house for free for a year in exchange for a contract with the studio.
