Every so often a very pleasant opportunity like that comes along. I'd check it out quickly ('If it's too good to be true it probably is' - try and determine why that particular fork would be on that particular bike, to the extent you can; maybe put a little hold money on it until the LBS can find out for you); if it checks out I'd jump on it!
