Teen Trades Up On Craigslist, From A Cell Phone To A Porsche!!

[Guest071613-2]

I just saw this on the news, and thought it was genius:

"In a world where many teens seem to lack both patience and common sense, one teen in Glendora, CA, demonstrated both masterfully.

Steven Ortiz, 17, used Craigslist to trade his way up from an old cell phone to a 2000 Porsche Boxter. It took him 2 years of bartering like mad, but it appears that the effort was worth it. He’s the only student at Charter Oak High School who drives a Porsche to school."

I saw that earlier today and was amazed. I wonder if he really did it as he says he did it.

Been done before. This guy was in the news 5 years or so ago because he actually started really small and ended up with a home. He started with a Paper Clip...red one.

Yeah, I remember that story. Paperclip up to a house. It's amazing what a little ingenuity can do for a person.

I have a box of paper clips and a few broken down cell phones. Hmmmm...now how many sessions can I get for them....

Craigslist, here I come.

Seriously, it is encouraging to see entrepreneurship alive and well in the younger generation. Maybe there is Hope for Change Back?
