One red paperclip.

I'm guessing that's what you're referencing.

There was a dude in the Lego community on Lugnet at the time that took the idea and did a similar thing trading up from a 1x1 red stud to a Technic bulldozer that was one of the most expensive sets at the time.

Nope, a quest in popular mmo Runescape. It makes the player fetch items which require other items repeatedly and then you work your way backwards, usually takes between 2 and 6 hours depending on what systems if transport the player has unlocked.
