Hi Katie,
If you buy used from a private party (such as here on Audiogon), and the item does not have any cosmetic or functional problems, and you buy at a fair price, you should be able to re-sell without significant (or any) loss.
Tube amp selection (and price) will be heavily dependent on how much power you need, and how difficult a load the speakers present to the amp. Let us know what kind of speakers you have, how large the room is, what your typical listening distance is, and what kind of music you listen to, and that will help us to make some specific recommendations.
The prices for quality turntable/tonearm/cartridge combinations these days tend to be quite high, although the expensive ones may be overkill for the rest of the system. Again, let us know what you presently have in your system, and what price range you had in mind, and I'm sure you'll get some good suggestions.
Regards,
