Around my neck of the woods $50 to $100 at the beginning of the season, $25 now that winter is getting started in Alaska.
I like it a lot better with the OG fork. It is a solid bike with hubs instead of freewheels thus a standard 135mm butt. it should serve you well forever.

1995 model, I think.
Poor time of year to sell, however in the spring, in the WI/MN area..$200-$300(or more to the right person) depending on condition. Having both forks helps..a lot. Nice bike..my touring bike is a drop bar converted '93 970.

Nice bike!
I don't know your location, I am Cleveland and I am selling a lot of good bikes, on-line, on "that site", in October, November.
People are looking for good quality bikes, projects for winter.
This is a quality bike, not too many out there and I wouldn't sell it less than 300$.

Yeah, these higher end vintage mountain bikes are in increasing demand. For nostalgia's sake and gravel conversion, they are at least holding their value. Two forks is a nice bonus too. $300 sounds right to me.

I'm glad to see that prices are still holding in some places. Here in Alaska prices plummeted after COVID. It is a buyer's market.

Heck, if there are actually lots of bikes this caliber for $25 up north one could load up a truck and drive south and pay for the journey and then some through arbitrage.
For that matter, stripping the parts and flogging them on eBay would result in a healthy profit if bikes like this were $25
I'm almost glad that's not true where I am or I'd be drowning in good deals

Hunh. Do you by chance live in Humboldt County California? That exact bike has been hanging around CL here for over a year. I've regretfully passed on it due to finances and a preference for quill stems; it's a really nice bike. Oh, here's a link to find the 1995 catalog.
It's definitely a '95. From Vintage Trek:
