Hi J.,
If you decide to buy a new one, the resale value is pretty good. Little Tykes products hold up really well!
However it you want to look for a used one, I'm sure you'll save a lot of money. My sister gave me one (she has 2 childeren) and I'm passing it onto my 3rd little boy. When he has outgrown it, I'm sure I'll sell it at a yard sale. They have all thoroughly enjoyed playing with it.
