identify a second item to the user, the second item having a second value of a second attribute; and

facilitate an exchange for the user of the first item for the second item.

2 . The system defined in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

when the first attribute is the same as the second attribute, then determine a difference in the first and second values and calculate a debit or a credit to be provided to an account of the user based on the difference in the first and second values; and

when the first attribute is different from the second attribute, then determine a difference in the first and second attributes and calculate a debit or a credit to be provided to an account of the user based on the difference in the first and second attributes.

3 . The system defined in claim 2 , wherein the first item is a first event ticket and wherein the first attribute is a price of the event ticket.

4 . The system defined in claim 3 , wherein:

the second item is a second event ticket and the second attribute is a price of the second event ticket;

the first value is greater than the second value; and

the processor is further configured to:

calculate a difference in the values of the first and second attributes;

offer the exchange of the second item for the first item to the user, the offer identifying the difference in the values;

receive a request to initiate the exchange;

facilitate the exchange of the second item for the first item to the user; and

process a credit to the user based on the difference in the values.

12 . The system defined in claim 1 , wherein the second item is an item of a second user and wherein the processor is further configured to provide the first item to the second user.

13 . A method, comprising:

identifying, electronically by one or more hardware processors, a first item of a user, the first item having a first value of a first attribute;

identifying, electronically by the one or more hardware processors, a second item to the user, the second item having a second value of a second attribute;

facilitating, electronically by the one or more hardware processors, an exchange for the user of the first item for the second item.

14 . The method defined in claim 13 , wherein the first item comprises a first event ticket and wherein the second item comprises a second event ticket of an additional user, the facilitating comprising providing the second event ticket to the user.

identifying a first item of a user, the first item having a first value of a first attribute;

identifying a second item to the user, the second item having a second value of a second attribute;

facilitating an exchange for the user of the first item for the second item.
