Jody Gnant has the recording contract - I get one year in Phoenix. I hope the recording contract can help Jody get her singing career underway!
one year in Phoenix includes:
-One year free rent in the heart of downtown Phoenix. (If needed, the apartment can also come fully furnished.)
-roundtrip airfare for two from any major airport in North America.
Features:
Live right in the heart of downtown Phoenix.
Short walk to Roosevelt Arts District, Major Arts and Entertainment Facilities, Sports Arenas, ASU Downtown Campus, the Capitol, etc. 1BR, 1Bath, historic bungalow style duplex with 9 foot ceilings, oak floors, living room with fireplace, separate dining room, new kitchen, laundry room. 700 square feet. I can throw in four third-row tickets to an AZ Diamondbacks game, which is walking distance to the recipients new home.
Here's the house:
I'm pretty jazzed about this - my first foray into real estate. I so don't have any official real estate trading credentials or anything like that. I don't even drive a Dodge Stratus. I should probably get myself some business cards, a briefcase, and above all else, a car phone.
have fun - kyle
Did I stay I Phoenix for a year?
Or trade it away?

Was wondering which one you'd choose...
Love your idea, and have been telling all my family and friends about it since I've discovered your site...
Good luck,
Tali, Israel.
Unbeleivable!
All from one little red paper clip. Fantastic, you are a true businessman. You better get some business cards and a cell phone!

Good for you...very inventive and I hope you do it.
You got skill just wish i came up with that idea first but dont worry i wont take it. Good luck im sure youll get the house soon enough
Really amazing !!
I just read the whole thing and Í'm going to tell everyone I know about this. This is a real inspiration.
I hope you get what you want. (to be honoust: a year in phoenix sounds really good)
good luck!!

Congratulations Kyle, you're almost there. Best of luck with your quest for real estate.

Huh, weird coincidence, I am sitting in my office about 5 minutes from that house. It's not such a bad area now, although you might get some road noise and a lot of foot traffic. Conveniently located near the freeway. ;)
Nice work!! I knew you'll pull it, since I first heard of your plans, but Are you sure you wan to trade for another vehicle? good job
Wow,
If I could choose to spend a week in phoenix, or a wekk in hell...I would choose..
You sir are brilliant! It is a very entertaining story filled with luck and non-standard thinking.
Hey dude,
I'm from Singapore, not sure whether u know where tt is, but my bf told me to take a look at ur site and i think u're pretty cool! Gd luck! ;)
this is awesome! I wish I had a Dodge Stratus or something to trade you for this. Good luck and keep it going! This is probably the best thing I've seen on the 'net in a while. You're an inspiration.
your front page digg now:)
lets see how the server holds up
Wow, you could be a Dutchman!
It's very nice to follow, i have told everybody surround about this site.
Ok, my mom has got a '96 Dodge Stratus, and already lives in Phx. But this would TOTALLY be better than where she lives now.
But, if you decide to move here, you TOTALLY gotta look me up!
Seriously!
vern
wow, you're getting there. :)
Keep going, I'm really rooting for you. Good Luck.
Mike, Frostburg MD
Hey,Kyle,
Jack from Kentucky here . I have an idea you might consider - trade for TWO identical items and then you can do double trading in order to leverage your trades . Good Luck.
i'd estimate the year's rent is worth about $7000. not bad, but i think the studio time was probably worth more actual cash(though perhaps a harder trade).
luckily here in phoenix there are a lot of people with fishy financing on their houses who would like to make a deal.
Te felicito, soy argentino, y desde mi ciber linkeamos a tu página para que te conozcan, ser y creer en grande es bueno, nuevamente felicitaciones.
Si me das una mano con mi página te lo agradeceré, mirala, www.theeggsofkike.unlugar.com, voy a vender un huevo en un millón de dólares. Ayudame a mostrar a la gente que la distancia entre loco y genio es el éxito.
Buena Suerte!!!
Mariano
Okay, I think you need to get into some cash. Someone (me?) needs to offer you, say, $5K for the year's rent, provided that they get, in return, the right to sublet during that year. If it's worth $7K, then that's a sound investment.
What YOU get is something very nice. Namely, the ability to post: WHAT WILL YOU TRADE ME FOR $5000? People desperate for quick cash will no doubt give you an item worth more than this. . . you'll have your pick of the litter, I can assure you that.
Now, this may well have come up already, but I havne't had the time to scan all comments. . .
Kyle,
I stumbled on your blog after looking at www.gorillamask.net. I am sitting in my office in Helsinki and thinking what could I offer for a red paper clip. I was thinking about a trip to Italy (just went to Tuscany great!), a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with the crusts off or perhaps a stapler with actual staples (staplers are better).
Chris Code,
Helsinki, Finland
Beautiful place. I found your site from an article from CNet News. This has really taken off - well done!
Tu es un inspiration pour nous tous!
hey I first heard about your website when you were on the kevin and bean morning show. Now I visit you site everyday. Dude that totally rocks with that last trade. If I had something that was good enough to trade I would. Goodluck with the house bro.
Congratulations ! Your heartwarming story is traveling the world, as you can see from all of us reacting to it I'll spread the word too.
Don't forget to sign that deal for a movie (with Tom Hanks ?)
Good luck !
Nick, Belgium
Tordant!! C'est vrai cette histoire? (on l'as-tu l'affaire à Montréal! ;-) ) J'aimerais beaucoup avoir un objet dans cette chaine hors de l'ordinaire, juste pour faire partie de cette aventure qui semble connue à travers le monde, mais bon, c'est déjà rendu trop gros... Alors j'envoie simplement mes salutations et je vais sûrement repasser par curiosité.
Best of luck for the future of this project.
Patrick, Montréal.
Hey, Colleen from Thunder Bay, Ontario here. Nice to see a guy from Montreal doing something fun with his time. If you Good Luck with all trades, hope you get to a house soon.
PS, try playing Roll Up The Rim. Ya, might win something trade worthy. Just a thought,
Well, I'm pullin' for ya, Cheers
LOL
Awesome game...
The best things my friend have got were

You take the cake!
Just insane! It's amazing the things that can happen from one small idea.
Wishing you the best of luck in getting your house!
Andi, Kansas
God damn, you got really lucky. Very, very smart though.
Skip Hollywood - keep Phoenix! I'd go for a trade to a snowbird for their Motorhome which you could then trade for a small home somewhere....:) What a great example you are for how much can be accomplished with a simple idea and a positive attitude!
Fantastic idea. I saw this on aol. Ill check this site out everyday. How about selling lots of ads on this site for extra cash?
Good Luck.
Doris, St. Louis, Missouri
What a great story. I see a movie in your future. Just don't trade the script for something else. You could get more than a house for it! Monselle, Atlanta
Awesome Idea! I LOVE IT! Read about it in The Southeast Missourian online today. Maybe you could find someone who urgently wishes to relocate to Phoenix, and owns a fixer upper property of some sort (i.e. small home or a mobile home), who would be willing to trade it for the year of rent. Then you could trade the fixer upper to an investor for something better. Best of luck with this! I have a feeling you'll be getting a house soon. ~Angie~ Jackson,MO
Hey Kyle,
Congratulations on the year of free rent. I was thinking. Since you got those Diamondbacks tickets as well as the year of rent, maybe you could trade those things separately. Then you'd have something from the trade for the year of rent AND something from the tickets. You could combine them and trade for that house you want. Anyways, hope you succeed with your goal.
Aaron

how about if you track down the girls with the paperclip and give them the year of rent in exchange for one very famous red paperclip... it's obviously worth alot more than a fish pen now.
What is really funny to me is that when this is all over, that original red paperclip, if it were distinguishable somehow, or being sold by the original recipient (assuming s/he hasn't just used it to hold some papers together), would be worth almost as much as small house from a memorabilia standpoint.
You inspire red paperclips everywhere.
What fun u r having..Good Luck....only in America!
this is just fantastic! I think u're great to just think about the idea of trading a red paperclip, but to actually do it! really cool!Ew're cheering for u in Norway!
Rebecca, Hordaland, Norway
Parabéns, sua idéia foi genial, não só a sua idéia, mas também a capacidade de negociar as coisas. Boa sorte nas suas proximas negociações.

This has to be the most inspiring story I have heard in years. You have given me hope. Good luck. Wish I could trade you something, all I have right now is my job skills. Would not mind trading what knowledge I have of injection molding, but my current employer has that under wraps. www.geocities.com/woosterrubbermaid
My little contribution to my friends and former co-workers.
Wow, world-wide attention from a red paper clip! I have been looking around, and I've seen two languages I can read, one I can recognize, and more. How come I did'nt come up with this idea?
I can trade this to one black paperclip - I have photo to prove, I really have a black paperclip. And you need to travel to Brazil to trade with me. My page in net is : http://www.portal.senior.eti.br
Rogerio - comunidadesf@yahoo.com.br
If you not trade with me I will do a page in my country to trade my black paperclip to a house too ...
Great idea friend ...
Excelent, Just Excelent. All this from just one little red paperclip? Once you get the house, ( and I do believe you will )I say stay in for a year or so and paint it red, (see where I'm going with this), And start over again. But this time start with the house....Wow a house from a paper clip....What could you end up with from a house.....especially a RED HOUSE.
GREAT
Genial sua idéia, parabéns mesmo.
Você soube usar a rede para ganhar sem passar por cima de ninguém, apenas usando o antigo método da troca.
Parabéns cara.
I think this is a totally awesome idea. If I could afford to give you a house in return for the rent, I SO WOULD!
wow... ths s ttly osm. u rok.
Wow! You have an amazing idea, good luck!
you're just amazing ! i'm wondering what the next trade would be...good luck ! ! !

This is by far one the great example's of determination. May your future house be blessed and your dreams come true.
Hey Kyle, Take my ex-wife, please, fall in love, and you have the makings of an A-1 chick flick. You already have the title. I see some screenwriter making something extremely workable from your unique business vision... Good luck and better get an agent, quickly...
I wonder... I've been writing my first book, and this would be some interesting publicity.
What if I could get the profits from any published copies of the book split between me and another person, (or even have that person be a character in the book... if I only had a use for a trip to Phoenix...
Come to think of it, I do have family down there.
This is very interesting, and abso-frikkin'-lutely hilarious.
Now I want a paperclip.
just seen you on tv in new zealand, what a great idea,i will now be checking on your progress.....good luck to you.
Go Kyle! Go! This is sensational. Think I'll start a paperclip factory. Good luck.

Hey Kyle! Greetings from the University of Maryland! CNN.com just posted your story today, and it has taken my circle of friends and I by storm! Best of luck with your future endeavours! You're doing great!
What an awesome idea! I was working at the time that I heard this, I drive a shuttle bus for a casino out in the foothills of California. Most of my passengers were shocked at what you have recieved with just trading a paper clip! This is just amazing! Its neat to think that you are getting so much publicity from this idea that even small town DJ's are getting word! With this much going for you I am sure you will get your house sometime soon! Good Luck and have fun!

Awesome! This is one of the most incredible examples of bovine behaviour I have ever seen. I wish you luck, and even if you don't reach your goal, I'm sure there's a sweet position with your name on it in the provincial legislature.
Alright, here's an offer. For the Phoenix house, I'll give you ONE BLUE PAPERCLIP. You thought red was good, but wait until you see what a blue paperclip can do. A trip to Yahk? Forget it! People will be offering you trips to the moon, just for the blue paperclip... Let me know. :)

very very awsome!! if i had some reason to go to phonix for a year i'd be more than happy to come up with a trade for you. Very very amazing, best of luck to you
Kyle,
Currenlty I am trading some paperclips (not just red ones) here in Amsterdam to get you a round trip airplane ticket from your place to Amsterdam. Just for a weekend or so. You can stay in my place. I make sure I have some surplus credits from the paperclip trading business to be used for numerous beers at a hot downtown Amsterdam bar. The reason for all this: in this hot downtown Amsterdam bar I would like to discuss with you a strategy how to sucessfully trade a brand new fine wooden toothpick for a new US President while consuming numerous bears. Also my mate Tibi from Bukarest, Romania will sit in and discuss with you some ideas of finding a General Lee in the Carpathian Mountains, because he knows people over there that own one, have no clue what treasure they posess and probably couldn't care less if someone would take it. Some other amateur traders(Jeff from New Jersey - USA, Pete from Brisbane - Australia, Tom on his way to Hangzhou - China) will also sit in and breathlessly learn from you while trying not to look too drunk.
Hang on ... man I'm slow ... let me talk to Tibi first about getting this General Lee from Romania myself and then trade it with you for something ...

Greetings.
i have a yellow paperclip taped to my computer monitor here at work. It shows that anything is possible.
This project is incredible!! What an amazing adventure it must be!

What a good Idea ! Pass a great year in your house, maybe, next years you could start with a blue paper clip....haha
Nice one dude!
But be carefull! I heard about some idiot once that traded a priceless afternoon with a famous rock star for a $40 Kiss snowglobe.
So watch out. You're definitly only a few steps away from that house (unless you do something stupid like the other guy).
LOL,
John
that is so cool that you started with a paper clip and now you got a house
amazing idea!!! what can i say only you've got skill!!
I saw your story on the local news last night and I am truely impressed. Keep it up and maybe trade the house for something bigger. Maybe a bigger house...see how far you can go!

Very inspiring and innovative. Makes me realize that it pays to think outside the box. Reminds me to turn off the TV and think for a moment. Never know what ideas may come if we remember to stop and let our creativity go to work. Congratulations on the house. Equally as important, you've inspired millions to redefine what is possible.
I can believe anything, even someone who barters their way to a house with a paper clip; clever.
hah that's really an impressive idea!
Enough already about luck... How the hell do you get lucky if you do somthing? Things happened when you do somthing like this guy. He is outside the box. Congrats
Congratulations Kyle, i had a feeling this could be done... you done it... now it would be awesome if i could get rid of all my stuff that easly... of course shipping for a paperclip cant be that expensive...
you are a inspiration to many and i hope one day i can be like you...
Good luck and God speed
merci pour cette formidable histoire ; ton histoire rend heureux !
