The red paperclip story involved a lot of trades of things that can't usually be purchased:
- an afternoon with alice cooper
- a recording contract
- a role in a movie

These things, while not worth much to those offering, may be worth a lot to those who don't have these opportunities.

The problem you will run into to, is everything you will trade in EU has a similiar value to everyone. You have to be a great trader and increase your value a little each time in EU, because no one is going to offer a high value item at a ridiculous discount. This will take hundreds to thousands of trades and one bad trade could set you back 100 good trades. You need to find items that can't be easily bought and sold that might be worth a great deal to someone. Trading sweat, dung, armour parts, etc. isn't going to get you very far, unless you happen to find several generous people.

Good luck
