I heard her interviewed on the radio. At one point she traded for something that was fake and that set her back a bit.

Old rancher I worked for said his wife traded off a 2 year old filly in the spring one year. By fall that year and a number of trades later she had a dozen chickens. And the coyotes ate most of them. He said that he did kind of like that filly.

Beauty will open doors, but she had to have something on the ball to advance.

I think a large part of it may have been the fact that she was explicitly marketing it all. Not sure about the guy who traded a paperclip for a house, but I think a lot of it was the novelty of the endeavor. Hard to believe though that someone would trade an Apple TV for an old snowboard...

I guess there really is a buyer for everything.
