网上开展春节货物交换

With the Spring Festival coming to end, many citizens have become busy with the barter of unused festival goods online.

　　Changsha Evening News reports most goods waiting for exchange are gifts presented by friends of family members during the holidays, such as cigarettes and wines, as well as daily necessities handed out by employers for free.

　　However other items, including bus cards and memberships to gyms and beauty parlors, are also popular.

　　A businessman who usually eats out on business received a bus card worth 200 yuan （US$25） in exchange for his cooking oil. He said bartering is particularly good for single people like him, since most commodities given by bosses are impractical for them.

　　A woman also succeeded in obtaining what she wanted through an online barter. She said people can find better deals with unused festival goods more easily because most exchange partners don't care much about the price of the goods they were given for free.
