"Red Paper Clip" Guy Mentions Commercial Drive on His Blog

If you haven't heard of Kyle McDonald, originally from Belcarra, BC, who traded up a red paper clip to a house in Kipling, Saskatchewan, you really should find out more about him. An amazing story.
He writes:

I also get asked for advice on how to go about trading things. So today I'm happy to share some trading advice I've learned over the years. This advice is cultivated from personal experience, in the same vein as my experience of getting $4 and a microwave, which I wrote a nice little story about. Sure, some of the expenses associated with the advice may leave you in the red slightly, but that's all part of the game.

He also adds this disclaimer:

The following trading strategies are all true, and have worked in the past, except one. Can you guess which?

I'm not sure if the following is true or not, but it's still cool to get a mention.
