Another buy-back site eBay Instant Sale wrote to Cnet ,
"In the three days following the verdict, Android smartphone trade-in offers generated by people using eBay Instant Sale grew by 60 percent when compared to the three day period prior to the verdict.

The trade-in value of Samsung phones also fell due to oversupply . For a flawless Galaxy S II , Gazelle is offering $166 only . On ebay.com , one can get a Galaxy S II variant for as low as $150-$200 .
