You can read more about it here. Personally I have better things to do with $185 USD.
Do you know paper clips are popular to use in arts and crafts? Neither did I, here is a couple of links that you may find interesting. Here and here.

Give MacGyver a paperclip, string, and a watch, and he can improvise a rocket engine.
The paperclip trade up to a house was wonderful. The house the gentleman got was north of us here in Saskatchewan by about 2 1/2 hours. I am not too sure how long he lived there though.
God bless.
