I'll trade you a used Craftsman router for it.

I've seen about 100 requests like this since that idiot when on the
radio talk show circuit about how he traded a paper clip into a house.
We had 8 different kids knock on our door within a week of that story
being on the radio, no doubt encouraged by their dumbass parents.

It's a worn out idea. You're going to have to think of a better way to
make money with no effort.

I already followed this story when it was called "One Red Paper Clip" he
traded the paperclip for a house.

It's much easier to just assimilate the things you want.

Probably several, but I like #12.

cut it down

This reminds me of an episode of Deep Space 9 I saw once. You're not a
Ferengi are you?

Let me know the next time you want to trade a Chevy Blazer or any other
vehicle for a pocketknife.

Rub the back of his head and find out... <G>

<<I wonder which rule of aquisition this falls under? :-) >>

A couple of possibilities:

#10. Greed is eternal.

#19. Satisfaction is not guaranteed.

#42. What's mine is mine. What's yours is mine too.

#49. Everything is worth something to somebody.

#61. Never buy what can be stolen.

#116. There's always a catch.

#181. Not even dishonesty can tarnish the shine of profit.

#231. There's a sucker born every minute. Make sure you are the first to
find each one.

#260. Life's not fair. How else would you turn a profit?

I'm sure there are others.

Sorry but Ferengi Rule #27 is "There is nothing more dangerous than an
honest businessman." That would not seem to apply in this case.
