This idea is totally ridiculous...

And I can't believe that its working...

So apparently this guy has been trading up from 1 red paperclip to a year of free housing in Phoenix, AZ. He's gonna stop when he gets to a house...

Current offers for his 1 year of housing include a summer in hollywood with a porsche to drive around.

Totally ridiculous

Hello, this is Rachel. I currently work for a gentlemen's club in Roppingi, Tokyo, Japan where I earn my living by stripping. We make money out of bottles of champagne that we open or private dances we perform for our customers. Private dance consists of topless dance in privacy with the restriction of strictly no physical touch allowed from clients' side. Or you will be kicked out of the club and banned for good. This private dance costs 7,000yen (apx. $60) for 5min session and it is renewable. So I came up with the idea of how much it would cost for me to perform a 24hr consecutive private dance session. Quite simply, an hour can hold 12 sessions multiplied by 24 makes it 288 sessions times 60 is $17,280. I don't know how much an year rent in Phoenix is worth but I thought someone might be interested in trading for it. What do you think? Have a great day and hope to hear from you soon!! Best regards, Rachel.

Hey Rachel, I can honestly say that I've never partook in a lap dance before, and my girlfiend would probably frown on the idea. But you know what? I'm sure there's somebody out there who'd be willing to make an offer for a 24 hour lap-a-thon from you.

this is such a great idea. it's not even the fact that he'll have a house at the end, it's all about the journey.

one thing I don't understand is that in the "current offers" section he lists a bunch of offers and then asks the reader if they want it. but he's the one doing the trade, not the reader.

jeff,

He wants to know what people would be willing to trade for one of those potential offers so he can pick the one that will be the best one for trading up.

This is genius.
