Does anyone remember this, i am trying to find it but i cant. It was a story that happened a few years ago, someone started with a penny made trades and ended up with a million dollars. He traded for a pen then a stapler then a clock (small shit like that i dont know what it was exactly) but he got up to tickets for a concert that he traded for a car or something... and thats all i can really remember. If anyone can find this for me ++++++++++++k++++++++++++++ ( that was for eheath).
