    I was scrolling through Craig's List when I came across this gem: a couple trading up for their wedding.

    If anyone followed or heard of the One Red Paperclip project, then this along the same lines. He started off with a stapler and now he's onto steak knives. (Okay, I'll confess; I got so excited for them that I traded them the steak knives. Yep, you may not know me, but you can know my steak knives). The fact that everything is in lowercase aside, this is a cool idea. I hope it works out for them.

    "hi my name is aaron and me and my fiance are planing on getting married in june of next year and we dont have a lot of money. we are hoping to eventually trade up to something big enough to sell to offset the cost of the wedding. we started this a couple of days ago and we have already traded up from a used stapler to this set of steak knives. i have a slitzer 8pc jumbo steak knive set that has never been used. so if you or anybody you know wants or needs a new set of knives and has something to trade that is a little more in value please email me back. thanks aaron"
