About Second Rotation
----------

Second Rotation is the company behind Gazelle. We're building www.gazelle.com with big goals in mind. Sure, we want people to think of us as the place to sell used electronic devices. It's designed to be easy and fast with zero hassles for folks selling anything from cell phones to MP3 players, Apples to Blackberries. But we also want to accomplish a couple of other things:

* Change the way people think about consumption and ownership.
* Provide an alternative to the rapid escalation of e-waste.

Gazelle fosters a collaborative environment that encourages input and rewards initiative.
In addition to the chance to make internet history, every employee receives three weeks vacation, full medical and dental benefits, participation in a matched 401K plan, and a generous quarterly bonus plan.
