One Red Paperclip

Inspired by Kyle MacDonald’s one red paperclip project in which he traded a paperclip for progressively more valuable items until he owned a house, I completed a similar series of trades as a project for my negotiations class. Starting with a red paperclip, I traded up through a cat-shaped eraser, a minifridge, a gaming chair, and a GPU, ending with an older iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.
