So, you’ve all heard of the game Bigger or Better? Perhaps
you’ve even heard of One Red Paperclip, where a guy traded up from a paperclip
until he got a house? Our entrepreneur lecture class is playing a massive game
of Bigger or Better with goals just as outrageous as a house from a paperclip.
We’ve got a rock. It’s a cool rock. Jennifer found it while
she was running this week.
We want a car. It doesn’t have to be super nice or anything,
just as long as it runs decently well and isn’t totally beaten up. You know, a
typical college student car is acceptable. A really nice, new car would be even
better! Or a sports car! When you’ve got a rock, you can dream anything.
In class, Clarissa (me), Michelle, and Jennifer joined
forces in our goal to turn a rock into a car in two weeks. That’s right, we
have a deadline – the last trade must be completed by October 22 at noon.
This blog - http://rock-to-car.blogspot.com/ - will chronicle our trades for the next two weeks. Tonight
Michelle and Jennifer are going to trade our rock for at least three new items
so that tomorrow we can branch out and make multiple trades at once.
The blog will also be a place for people in the Provo, Utah area
to offer trades. We are limited to the Utah Valley because we aren’t allowed to
pay for anything other than gas (including no shipping). Please comment and
offer anything you’re willing to trade. Most
importantly – let us know if you’d be willing to trade a car and what you would
be willing to trade for it.
Keep posted over these next two weeks – I’ll be updating
daily at the least this week and hopefully over the weekend as well. It’s gonna
get crazy!
