Specify whether it tossed its oily cookies yet.

Do they make threaded and threadless versions of this fork? If so, specify which type you're selling.
If used, specify whether the crown race was left on.

Specify where and if the buyer can get parts. Put the URLs in your ad. Include any spares you have.
Suspension parts don't become obsolete because they now suck (assuming that they didn't when new.) They become obsolete because, as soon as the manufacturer stops making that exact specific model, they stop making all of the parts for it as well. This leads to having to throw away a perfectly good fork that you paid 500 bucks for because you can't find a 5 dollar washer.
When you buy a new fork, immediately purchase one complete rebuild kit and any other small parts. Order it all at once along with the fork. If you promise yourself that you'll do it later, you won't do it until "later" has become "too late." 2025 you will bless 2020 you and praise your name if you do this. (Your fork will also be worth a lot more when you go to sell it.)
