In May 2020, a 30-year-old San Francisco, California resident announced on her blog that she has a hair clip and is ready to swap it out for something more valuable. First, she was offered cheap earrings, which she exchanged for four glasses for a Margarita cocktail.

For these glasses she managed to get a very profitable vacuum cleaner.

Thus began a long series of online exchanges, during which Demi Skipper became the temporary owner of several inexpensive jewelry, an iPhone, three tractors and many other items.

And just recently she achieved her goal - she got a house.

Almost all exchanges took place online.

Demi Skipper was inspired by Canadian Kyle MacDonald, author of One Red Paperclip. In 2006, he turned a red paperclip into a house in 14 exchanges.

Skipper has used online platforms such as Facebook Marketplace and eBay. In parallel, she promoted the project on TikTok and Instagram.

As a result, the girl exchanged a vacuum cleaner for a snowboard, a snowboard for headphones, for which she received a laptop, and in exchange for the laptop she got a camera.

Then came the Nike sneakers, which led to the iPhone traded for the 2008 Dodge Caravan.

Skipper brought the car from afar - from Minnesota, which raised interest in her project. Trade Me Project became more popular every day.

The enterprising blogger exchanged the Dodge car for a Mini Cooper, and it for a necklace.

There was a misfire with the necklace: the seller estimated it at $ 20, but in fact it was worth less than XNUMX.

Long road to real estate

Two weeks later, Demi Skipper's necklace replaced the $ 1800 exercise bike.

The simulator was successfully replaced with another car - a Ford Mustang, and by December last year it turned into a small house in the forest.

Demi exchanged the hut for another car, a Honda CRV, and it for three tractors, for which the girl received a card for a year of free lunches at the Mexican cafe Chipotle.

The card has turned into a $ 40 residential trailer, which can be exchanged for a house in Nashville, Tennessee.

Skipper and her husband are planning to move to the state in January to begin renovations.
