Whats a fair price to sell my suspension fork

I am selling my SR Suntour XCT 29, 100mm fork that came off my 2017 diamondback recoil. This is so I can upgrade to a better fork and I was wondering what's a fair price I can sell it for?

I couldn't find the exact model anywhere online, so I'm not sure, it has red markings.

Suntour has an upgrade program if you bought the bike new you can take advantage of it. You can buy a XCT brand spanking new for $70 shipped, maybe $30 used.

I don't think anything made by Suntour is an upgrade. An upgrade would be purchasing a Fox, Rockshocks, DVO or Manitou product. Suntour makes junk.

Looks like it sells for ~$71 new and gets crappy reviews.

I would call yourself lucky to get $35 for it if it is an unused take-off, $20 if it is used.

I'm not saying Suntour makes great $1k forks but I also doubt a guy upgrading from a XCT is wanting to buy a $1k DVO fork lol. A Suntour Radion air fork would be a huge and cheap upgrade over what he has now using the upgrade program. And unless he has a tapered head tube which I doubt a Radion might be about the best fork he can get anyway.
