As a new suspension-corrected ridig fork should have less value than the suspension fork, I would try for an even trade. If they want more than $20 or $30, I'd get the new fork and put the suspension fork for sale on eBay or Craig's List (make sure you metion it is a new take-off part in the ad) and you may even come out ahead on the deal.
