A New World Record


I am out to set a New World Record for the most successful Internet trade.




First off let me introduce myself, My name is Kyle Morgan, I'm 32 years old, I have a pretty mundane job and lets just say other than my wonderful family my life is a bore (or should I say was a bore). During my breaks at work I do a lot of reading when about a month ago I came across an article that inspired me.


The article was about a man by the name of Kyle MacDonald. Kyle decided to see if he could trade one red paperclip for a house. Needless to say after 1 year and 14 trades later, he had his house. Shortly after that "The Guinness Book of World Records" recognized him as the record holder for the most successful Internet trade.


My goal now is to break that record. So I am going to start out not with a paperclip (Kyle proved it could be done with a paperclip) but with a Yellow Golf Pencil. In order to break the record I will need to trade for something bigger or better than the 3 bedroom house Mr. MacDonald traded for. I am open to all trade ideas, a yacht, an office building or maybe an airliner but I am partial to just a bigger and better house.
All my trades will be done via craigslist and I will post the links to the ad's here on my blog for easy access. I will do my best to make all trades in person but due to having a full time job that doesn't just give time off. I can't promise anything.
