[Closed] Advice for used Fox Float RP2

I was wondering if I could have a bit of advice, as I am new to the online part of biking...

I have just upgraded from an RP2 and wondered what would be best to do with it. If I can get a reasonable amount of money for it (is is used but in really good condition and never had any problems with it) then I may sell it and put the money towards my current project. If it isn't really worth much once it has been used (as they aren't that pricey as new) then I may just hold onto it just in case I want to build another full sus in the future.

Ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance, I value your opinions!

depends on length, rebound tune, compression tune, and service history

I got £65 on ebay for a 3 month old 200 x 50mm

medium rebound and compression

hmmm ok. Not sure on rebound. Its i2i is ~200mm and compression looks to be 50mm. It came off my full sus, which it came with. The bike it came off is a 2007 model, but it hasn't had more than about a years worth of light use.
Thanks for your input 😉

compression is a speed not a length of compression. What bike is it from?
maybe buy a seal kit from infradig off here for £8 and change the seals pre-sale, would make it more attractive and only a 30 minute job at most. No tools required.

BTW rebound and compression are shown on a sticker on the air can (3 lines) tell me where each line is

Oh I see. I'm not too good on all the technical stuff!
it was from a Kona Dawg Primo (2007).
RE: the seal change - I think it is a good idea whether I decide to sell or not. Thanks for the tip!
I am thinking that it may be worth more to me for a future build (or as a spare!) than I will get if I sold it.
I was considering sending it off to TF and getting it serviced and tuned if I were to hang onto it, but wasn't sure if it was worth it.
The tuning and servicing of shocks is another thing I wanted to ask you forumers about!

mid compression and mid rebound tune
probably a 50 or 55mm stroke - length of exposed shock shaft

air sleeve service is dead easy
