"S" forks - what are they worth??

OK, so I've been thinking about upgrading to the Ohlins forks offered on ebay and seeing that they're pretty pricey, I'd like some thoughts on possible resale value of my "S" forks.
It's a case of "do I need it vs. do I want it vs. is it worth it", you all know how it is.. I'm on the fence, I'd say if there's a possibility of getting between $1200 and $1500 for my old ones (incl. triples/lowers etc. and with 600 or so miles), there'd be a chance of actually going through with it. What say you, possible or keep dreaming??

You probably get around $ 1000 + - on Ebay for them, there are always some that did crash one and need forks. Or just list them at $ 1500 buy it now and see what happens, you just need that one guy who needs them and maybe you get lucky.

+1

List them at 1500 BIN and if they sell you take them off and install the new same time!

Good luck
