Swap sites for unwanted gifts

Exchange of unneeded Spring Festival presents growing in popularity

Beijing - This is the time of year when the patience of a researcher, as well as the eye of a keen, Internet-savvy shopper can be satisfyingly rewarding.

Exchanging unwanted gifts given over the Spring Festival for more useful items can be big business for netizens who have been scouring online swap sites over the past few weeks. For the swap to work to the satisfaction of both parties, the items traded must be of comparable value, not always as easy as it may appear.
