This guy start with something that look like a crazy idea but by starting with a simple red trombone and exchanging it for something else he wants to get to a house. From exchanging all types of things from the very first, a crayon, to a 1000 watts generator to a motorcycle...
Incredible what you can do over the net.

The incredible story of a tromboneChupacabra wrote:so he just keeps trading up (well, whats up for him)?
its in french so i cant read the article or be arsed to get a translation.
No Kyle is not a magician. ‘’ He just does exchanges’’
It’s a story about exchanges and about the power of the internet and mainly that is a story that is about to be known around the world.
Kyle has not a penny to buy a home. He thought about exchanging things over the net trough a web site for other objects, ..always bigger or better’’ until it get to his house.
So He started it on July the 12Th on his own website announcing to the whole world about his project.
On the 15Th of July he had his first exchange , a crayon in a form of a fish that he trade for a weird door knob then exchanged it for a Coleman heater then against a 1000 watts generator.
It’s only 2 weeks ago that he encountered with BoingBoing. Net. A super popular web site and from then he had been approached by several medias and there is even a Studio Cie that want to make a film about it.
Well I’ve tried to summarized it as best as I can, well not really but I already spent over 30 mnts trying to do so.
Imagine you asking me to translate it in such a polite way…I had to dictionary what means arse.
So please…
