Just want to make sure my price is fair.

EDIT: Just wanted to update for anyone searching in the future. I got a few emails on it within a couple days and the first guy offered me $70.

I've got a Minty fresh 98 Rock Shox SID that I got on a parts bike. No scratches anywhere on it, stanchions don't show wear. I can't really use it since I do harder riding that it was made for, so I put it up on CL for $75 obo. Is that a fair price for it? I couldn't really find any info online to give me an idea.

You will have it on there for a long time I'm guessing, just because people on craigslist don't usually visit there looking for a front shock.

I'm not good with pricing though, sounds fair to me

I actually just got 2 responses in the last couple hours. I guess it's at least fair. Maybe someone is even getting a deal. I just hope there's not something I don't know and it's not Too good of a deal...

I always enjoy exciting tales about people trying to sell stuff on craigslist. Mods, can we make this a sticky?

It's probably high, unless you've rebuilt the cartridge and inspected all the components for rust.

Thanks, electrik. I was already planning on pretty much just taking whatever offer I get, so I guess I should probably stick with that.
