I'm just wondering why you consider it un-Christian to, for instance, buy toys off a kid at a yard sale, but not to buy those same secondhand toys at a thrift store. So it's ethical to buy the toys secondhand, but only if you go through a middleman.

It sounds positively Talmudic in its reasoning--yes because this conforms to the intent of the contract, or no, because it would harm another party to the contract or would be wasteful, etc. You would have made a good Talmudic scholar or a good law professor.
