b) He swapped it for a pen in the shape of a fish.

c) He swapped this for a smiley face doorknob.

d) He swapped this for a portable barbeque.

e) He swapped this for a portable genset.

f) He swapped this for a instant party pack and keg of beer.

g) He swapped this for a snowmobile.

h) He swapped this for a trip to British Columbia.

i) He swapped this for a truck.

j) He swapped this for a recording contract.

k) And in the end he swapped this for a house in Phoenix, Colorado.

Not Bad for eleven steps little deal. He says he is going to keep on doing trading until he owns a house. For how long he’s keep doing it? No body knows.

“Really, I'm looking for nothing in particular, just to make a trade and see where this goes. So if you have anything you'd like to offer in exchange for the house, and I mean anything, be sure to send in your offer!” said Kyle.
