Red Paper Clip Experience, pt. 1

I'm currently taking a course advanced negotiations and we have an assignment called the "Red Paper Clip" experiment. The point is that I begin with a red paper clip and I have one week to barter/trade to get something more and more valuable each time.

So please join me in this experience. Question is... what would you be willing to give me for ONE red paper clip? Let me know soon, I've got to start bartering.

I'll keep you updated.

Edit: 1:49 am - said paper clip has been traded for a black fender guitar pick by Mark.


Edit: 2:01 am - said pick has been trade for a stainless steel spoon by Ms. Ryu.


Any takers?
