Definitely a cool story. But I hope he knows to pay Uncle Sam his tribute. . .

He didn't buy it, is there tax on trades?

There was a website a while back about a kid who started out with a paperclip and traded up.

Ah, here: one red paperclip

Yes. You're presumed to have bought it and are taxed on the value the state deems it to be worth. Sometimes this is called a highway use fee, sometimes it's a property tax, but unless it was gifted by an immediate family member, there's no exemption.
If this post is in the Lounge forum, it is likely to be my own opinion, and not representative of the position of MacNN.com.
