It began with one red paper clip and ended with a house.Kyle MAXdONALD,a 26-year-old Canadian.gor a three-bedroomed house though 14 trades that started with a single red paper clip.
Encouraged by Kyle's successful,nowmore and more young people around the world are starting their own trading activities.They set up webites where people can trade things they do not usually use with other people.A website called Peerflix alloes people to trade their used DVDs.These traders usually prefer face-to-face trading.which means they don't have to worry about who is going to pay for the delivery.
Last year,a young girl in Beijingdecided to follow the example of Kyle.She started with a paper clip.and hoped to get a house in the end.After several trades she now has a Chinese music instrument PiPawhich is worth more than10,000 yuan.Butshe may still have a long way to go.
You may be puzzled about why people are doing this.In fact,everyone in the trade activities gets things that are useful to them.Just as Kyle said,"What's more important to a man dying of thirst in the desert-one million dollars or a glass of water?"Kyle's wods probably explain why these trades are popular among young people.
