Well, like pp said, there's always E-bay, Craig's list, and the like...classifieds in the local newspaper. We just built the boys a sandbox and are trying to figure out the best way to recapture some value out of the plastic one we bought last year for over $100...probably will advertise it in the paper.
Anyway, this is one of the primary reasons I buy everything I can (clothes, toys, books, household items) used - the item has already been drastically discounted, so if I have to resell it, the loss has already been taken and I can usually get close to what I paid for it (or more). Or, if it's something small, I can freecycle it without feeling like I am losing a lot of cash.
