A 26-year-old Montreal man appears to have succeeded in his quest to barter a single, red paper-clip all the way up to a house.

Kyle MacDonald makes friends with Alice Cooper. It took almost a year and 14 trades, but Kyle MacDonald has been offered a two-storey farmhouse in Kipling, Sask., for a paid role in a movie.

All those people looking for Caithness honey could surely use them to attend to their allergy symptoms. I need a tape measure if you can work your way to that level.

Ohhh...Saltire was just looking for a pen! I could use a nice green pen to keep him from nicking mine. I'll swap you a rainbow-coloured cube of notepaper for the pen. (They were "two for one", so I have one extra).
