Porsche for a mobile!?

I've accidently found this news on the internet at night. A 17 years old Steven Ortiz,from Glendora, California got so lucky from the online trade as he traded his old cell phone for Porsche. Ortriz traded his mobile online through craigslist. Craigslist is a free online classified advertisements with sections included jobs, housing, personals, for sale, services, community, discussion forums etc.

Porsche was not the first and only thing he traded his old cell phone for, it built up from iPod, then a MacBook Pro laptop, electronics to dirt bikes, then cars and trucks, and an SUV. Ortiz would buy mobile phone off his friends and sell them online for 3 times the amount he paid. He also repaired electronics and sell them out. Ortriz traded his goods through bartering where people exchange something they don’t need in order to get something they do need.

May be it's time for you to reconsidering trading online and bartering. And you might be as lucky as Ortiz!!!
