The accounts you'll use are

• Cash
• Accumulated Depreciation
• Fixed Assets - Fax machine (or some similarly-titled fixed asset acct)
• Gain or Loss on Sale

You already know the cash and fixed assets amounts for the entry. For the others, it'll depend on when the asset was sold--i.e. how much depreciation had been taken up to the date of the sale.
