Creative way to get a house

This doesn't have anything to do with Randolph County, but it was so bizarre I had to let other people know. In Canada a man (Kyle MacDonald) is trying to barter to get a house and he started with a red paper clip. Yeah, you read that right, and the oddest thing about it... it's working! Using the barter section on Craigslist.org, he traded the paper clip for a pen, the pen for a ceramic doorknob, the knob for a camping stove, the stove for a generator and so on... Currently (May 17) he has up for trade a Day with Alice Cooper.

If you want to know more about this guy, here is a link to his website so all of you can see how MacDonald's quest to be a homeowner is shaping up.

It might be unorthodox, but hey stranger things happen all the time.
