Skipper had been inspired to start her trading endeavour by a man named Kyle MacDonald, who in 2006 managed to trade his way from a paperclip to a house. Her journey began in lockdown when she posted a hair clip on Craigslist. She then went on to trade everything from broken cars to diamond necklaces. Then came a big-ticket item: a Chipotle celebrity card, which gives the owner unlimited Chipotle food for a year, as well as a catered dinner for 50 people, and is worth around $20,000. And despite scepticism from her followers, Skipper eventually found someone willing to exchange the card for an item. The person described themselves as 'Chipotle's biggest fan', and wanted to take the card in exchange for an off-the-grid trailer with a Tesla powerwall and solar panels worth $40,000.

When they drove it home, Skipper began talking to a house flipper who said they had been following her journey and would love to offer them a house in Tennessee for the trailer. Skipper described the modest 'fixer upper' with two small bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, and a bathroom, as "perfect'. https://www.instagram.com/p/CXXr-NerKWR/?utm_source=ig_embed She told the Guardian: "I think I’ve gotten much better at seeing the negative and flipping it to a positive. "Had someone said that someone was going to trade something that’s worth not even a single penny for a house that’s worth millions of times more, I feel like people would say it’s impossible. But this makes me feel like anything is possible now." And she says that she wants to start all over again, telling the paper: "I was the second person to do it once. But I want to be the first person to do it twice." Skipper and her husband are leaving their rental home in San Francisco and are moving to Tennessee to renovate and live in their house and plan to trade the original pin back for something and frame it in their new home.@trademeprojectMark your calendars ?? ##trademeproject ##letsgetthishouse ##fyp♬ a little bit bored (feat. ruuth) - Syence
