Using the powers of the internet and other such things, one man wishes to trade one red paperclip for a house. These are his trades so far:
• Paper clip for a fish-shaped pen
• Fish-shaped pen for a clay doorknob with a funny face on it
• Clay doorknob for a camping stove
• Stove for a generator
• Generator for an "instant party"
• Instant party for a snowmobile
• Snowmobile for an all-expenses-paid trip to Yahk, British Columbia
• Yahk trip for a panel van
• Van for a recording contract
• Recording contract for the year of free rent in Phoenix

I would assume Phoenix, Arizona.
Either that or rent inside a mythological bird.
