switching pumps?

I have had a minimed 515 for about 8 months. I am very interested in the new omnipod coming out. I am planning on at least giving it a try to eliminate tubing. The issue is insurance. They bought the pump 8 months ago so I am figuring that I am on my own with the omnipod at least for the initial cost( I am hoping they will pay at least a portion of the monthly supplies). My question is, if I like the omnipod, what options do I have with ;the minimed pump? Getting some money for it would be nice to defray the new cost of the omnipod, but I know it is illegal to sell it without a prescription. Does minimed buy pumps back? Or is there a way to sell it and transfer warrranty legally, maybe through a facilitating company?
thanks in advance
