I'd imagine this stuff is pretty local though because shipping heavy stuff like marble too far wouldn't make much sense.

Do some businesses exist which deal in old slabs? Sure. Though the large majority of results I see in your link are pretty small. But more importantly there are a lot of kitchen and bathroom renovations (and I _think_ renovations outnumber new construction by a lot ...) so one might think that almost as many countertops being removed as installed, and that a large portion of these could be serviced by recycled ones. The comment from danans asserted that these materials are "usually" reused -- which I am doubtful of.
