After Apple verdict, a rush to unload Samsung phones?


Are more people saying so long to Samsung after last week's patent trial loss to Apple?

Last week, a jury found that a number of Samsung devices infringed on Apple's patents, including the Galaxy S II. Is it just a coincidence, then, that consumer electronics resale site Gazelle has seen a huge bump in trade-ins of Galaxy S phones and other Samsung devices?


Gazelle's Anthony Scarsella told me today that the Web site has seen a 50 percent increase in Samsung trades in the days since the verdict was handed down.


"The Galaxy S II has been the most popular model," Scarsella added.


Four of the eight infringing Samsung devices that Apple says it wants banned from store shelves are Galaxy S II variants.
