BrainBank: It's Like That One Story About That Guy Edition

This Porsche used to be a crappy cell phone. Isn't that cool? This guy, over the course of two years of dedicated trading on Craigslist, managed to extremely circuitously trade his way up to a Porsche.

On the other hand, the sheer amount of time spent negotiating all of these trades probably could have been spent pan-handling, or something equally lucrative, so in two years he could have bought a Porsche and a half.

Possibly.
