You may have heard of the site one red paper clip where some guy started with a red paper clip and traded it up to a house. Well, my friend Brad Ziss has a similar effort underway in Columbus, OH with Stay At Home Brad and is having similar success. His wife Leslie is pregnant with their first child and Brad wants the opportunity to stay at home with the baby once it is born. Leslie said that he can as long as he is able to pay off their mortgage. So, Brad started the site and has begun trading hoping his final trade will allow him to stay home. He is up to a boat and trailer, computer with dual flat screen monitors, a dining room table and four chairs, and other items. Visit his site!

He had an interview last Thursday with a reporter from the Columbus Dispatch to discuss his site. The story hasn't run yet, but when it does I'll let you know. I told Brad that it is this kind of press that gets mortgages paid off. Also, in the name of disclosure, I wanted to help Brad with his efforts and am hosting StayAtHomeBrad.com as part of my contract for The Chief Source.com. We wish Brad the best and encourage our readers to visit his site and trade with Brad!
