The unsold items from the first Ray Bradbury estate auction are being re-listed in a new auction, many at reduced opening bids. This includes the Slatoff statute that Doug wanted, which apparently did not sell after all. Here is a link to the website describing the latest auction:
Speaking of "not knowing what they had" as with the Slatoff statue, word has it several items which shouldn't have been included with the estate* were auctioned off anyway, presumably by accident...so those who couldn't bid, or who bid and didn't win, were not the only unhappy ones.

Does anyone know of any low-end, yard-sale-level items? The sorts of things everyone has and often uses but which are not valuable such as art? Like any of the million and a half toys Ray kept on his desk for instance? Thanks.

Dandelion, this may be more expensive than what you had in mind, but the least expensive item I could find at the present time is a collector's plate from the Disney film, SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS, currently selling on eBay for $157.50. It includes a certificate of authenticity from Ray's estate. Here is a link:
Dandelion, I received your e-mail. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the sort of items that Ray used to own which you are looking for, and don't know of anyone else who does, either. Sorry!
