Check out other sources than Amazon for bike parts if you aren't in a rush. I paid 100 for the pedals and have found them affordably elsewhere. If Shimano didn't pull their nonsense on banning european sellers from shipping to the US they sell for 60 in the EU.
If you need a new fork, I haven't looked into the reviews, but DT Swiss makes decent stuff and randombikeparts has new take off suspension forks for 26" wheeled bikes, might be worth looking into, just make sure you find a 10% off code to make it better.
