So, I was reading this article at CNN about a guy who wants to trade his red paperclip for a free house. Apparently, he's well on his way. Right now he has a house in Arizona free of rent for one year.His blog is here. His myspace page is here.
I had no idea that Craigslist had a "barter" section, so I moseyed on over there and found this little gem:
Contractor willing to barter. on small jobs
