This New Jersey guy is trying to turn a single penny into a Lexus LC500.
The dream is simple: trade his way up until he’s driving off in that sleek V8 coupe.
The man behind the madness is YouTuber JD Montclair, and he’s documenting every high and low for his growing audience.
After a stretch of flea market rejections, Facebook ghosting, and a few hilariously awkward trades, here’s where he’s at in his one-cent supercar challenge.

Turning one cent into a supercar
It all started with a single penny, which JD flipped for a soap dispenser. That became men’s cologne, then a pair of Beats headphones, then an Atari console, and finally, brand-new size 11 Birkenstocks.
The Birks were supposed to be the golden ticket. Instead, they were a curse.
Nobody at the local flea market wanted them. Facebook Marketplace wasn’t much better, with JD’s inbox full of polite declines and occasional trolls.
He came close to landing two Oculus Quests… until the seller said he was a size 12, realized the Birks wouldn’t fit, and shut the deal down on the spot.
A shot at a Nintendo Switch Lite also fell through, leaving JD with his unlucky Birks and a bruised ego.
But persistence paid off. A local sneaker shop finally took the trade, handing over a Ted 2 collectible, a Be@rbrick figure, and a pair of child-size sneakers.
Then came the real win.
A trading card shop owner, hyped about the one-cent supercar series, straight-up gifted JD a stack of collectible cards to help him along.
Combined with his previous trades, his empire is now worth over $100, and he’s holding multiple items he can flip individually for bigger wins.
The hustle behind the Lexus LC500 dream
JD is the first to admit YouTube makes this look easier than it is.
Most of the process is rejection, awkward conversations, and long drives to nowhere. But the grind is part of the entertainment.
His current strategy is to chase electronics like a Nintendo Switch – easy to flip, always in demand.
Fans even get a say: his Instagram followers vote on risky moves, like whether to open mystery boxes or keep them sealed for maximum trade value.
Behind the scenes, the hustle is real.
JD’s editing videos at all hours, documenting every tiny win and loss to keep his audience in the loop.
He jokes he’s ‘suffering from success’ now, juggling multiple collectibles and plotting the next step toward the one-cent supercar.
From one cent to $100, and a Lexus LC500 still in his sights, this journey is just getting warmed up.
