🧩 THE PITSTOP PAPERCLIP CHALLENGE
This is not a normal competition.
We’re starting with one paperclip and trading it up over time – one trade at a time – to see just how big we can go.
The twist?
👉 The final prize doesn’t exist yet.
Over the course of the challenge, we’ll be upgrading the paperclip through a series of real trades. Whatever item we end up with at the end becomes the main prize in this competition.
You can enter at any point, even before the final prize is revealed.
🏆 THE PRIZE
-
The final traded item at the end of the challenge
-
OR, if the trade-up doesn’t go to plan, a guaranteed £5,000 cash prize
Either way, one winner takes it.
