And marketing. No one wants a paper clip. But if the people are in on the idea: they will give more worth. I've attempted this once. Had something of actual value to start instead of a paperclip. No one wanted to trade. No one wanted a stuffed animal that was freshly made. No one wanted my $30 ancient Mew cards. No one wanted 3D printed trinkets. It's also luck I guess since I have been noted for having amazing people skills and casual marketing.

In school we actually dod our own version of this, to learn kinda what it was like during the fur trades. We each started out with a red paper clip, and for 1 month we traded it up to different stuff around the school, and at home. It was actually really fun :)

Ryan Trajan did this too!
So a entire town is about to have a speaking role in a movie
I have seen this
What’s the background song?
The biggest factor of this was that it had a lot of hype and people were wanting to be a part of the deal, but can’t knock it he’s done well

how do you trade a part in a movie…? Is that even possible
@@spacefalls8260 you give someone else the part
@@bidlingodoop4673 how though? what if they suck at acting and the producer wont have any actor cause they suck or dont fit the role.
It could still be done if you were smart enough without any hype it would just take far more trades than he had to do
Trades were more about his social skills and connections than what he was actually trading.
And marketing. No one wants a paper clip. But if the people are in on the idea: they will give more worth.

Literally that’s how a “good” trade works,
You get something you don’t want for something better by use of social skill and connections.

Ah yes, people really walk around with a spare recording contract in their pockets. Met 4 people just this morning wanting to sell those.
And of course a recording contract isn't specific to one artist, it's just like a blank check that anyone can use. Right.
Well obviously it's a little more complex than that, there behind the scenes communication, he wouldn't be able to fit all of the details in a 60 second short
it’s abt connects and who you know my friend

I'm still confused about who wanted a neon sign and a beer keg in an exchange for a used snowmobile
There is no merit in it. People knew what he was doing and wanted to help. It wasn't real trades

The guy who gave him the snowbile is Michel Barette a comedian in Quebec who owns a hotel/museum and 20+ antics cars, he did it for the hype around all of this back in the days.
