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. 随着春节假期的结束,许多市民开始忙于在网上交易用不上的春节物品。 长沙晚报报道,被交换的货物主要来自于节日期间亲友的赠礼,比如烟酒,也有的来自于单位发放的免费生活必需品。 但也有其它一些东西很受欢迎,包括公交车卡、体育馆及美容院的会员卡等。 一位经常因公在外就餐的商人用自己的食用油换来了一张价值200元(25美圆)的公交车卡。他说这种交易很适合象他这样的个人,因为大多数老板发的货物是不实用的。 一位女士也同样通过网上交易得到了她想要的东西。她说,人们可以在网上轻松交换到更好的假日礼物是因为大多数交换者并不在意这些免费得来的货物的实际价格。
