Hi:

If it's the standard mount, oh, a hundred or two. The Deluxe Celestar
fork? Perhaps a bit more IF THE ORIGINAL OWNER INSTALLED THE UPGRADE
PEC CHIP TO GET PEC WORKING.

Real answer? Things like this are worth what you can convince somebody
to pay for them. usually selling a fork sans OTA is a bit more trouble
than it's worth.
