Marzocchi XC51 Suspension Forks

These have been sitting in my garage for years, I'm never going to use them but have no idea what they might be worth so any suggestions on a price are welcome. Details & pictures below:

1 1/8 threaded steerer cut to 16cm (to fit 19" Kona frame), brake booster incorporating cantilever brake cable stop.

...and perhaps somebody can tell me what year the Cook's are.. I thought they are 1989... what do you think ?

scooped back = RSR = early 90s I think.

Those do not appear to be, ("scooped"), milled. So they are CBR, and probably early 90's, as the CBR was still sold, along with the advent of the RSR, in the early 90's.

1993 Marin Pine Mountain

The GF's grandfather had this piece of history in his shed, which some forumites have helpfully identified as a 1993 Marin Pine Mountain.

I've been perusing fleabay and various other sites in the hopes of benchmarking a price, but.... now... again, Im reverting to the collective knowledge on here for some help. In an ideal world I'd like it to go to someone who will appreciate it and give the old boy a fair price (hence the question).

The bike has shimano XT pretty much throughout, a manitou suspension fork and Mavic M231 Rims. Apart from a couple of broken spokes it seems in working order (but would need a damn good cleanup!).

Anyway, heres the beast:

I have a retro Marin Indian Fire Trail in the garage, dating from the 1990s, chromed aluminium frame, Rockshock 750 forks, Marin Lite stem/bars, Shimano Diore XT cranks and groupset with Araya RM-17 wheels. The bike is in very good condition and is unused as I am a road cyclist. I have been told that it is very popular as a retro bike and is highly desirable.
As a non-mountain biker, should I be looking to sell this to an avid mountain biker? And what sort of price should I be looking for? I am looking for a fair price rather than to make a killing.
Thanks in advance!

you will get more if you split it,and hard without a picture but i would say 250

Thanks matt....I'll flip it in the for sale section on here then

I decided to have a look at what retro stuff I had lurking around (some still on current bikes) and have tried to find some prices which I have marked against the list. I wondered if anyone could help with the others or tell me if I'm far off?
Thanks Greg
