Ask HN: One Red Paperclip

So I'm in entrepreneurship class and we were given a bag of rubberbands and the assignment of taking the approach of the one red paperclip guy and do something really creative with them, trading or whatever and see what we can get out of it...

For those of you who don't know the story: http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/ or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_red_paperclip

So if anyone here is interested in either some rubberbands (we've got all sizes and colors) for some cool trading or if you have any cool ideas for what we can do with it, I'm interested to see if anyone here can come up with some really creative ideas

Thanks in advance.
