Just a few of the many avaliable options.

I just got Boxxer Teams from Torp 7, they didn't have the Manitous at that point in time, but they may be worth looking into, I haven't had much experience with them.

depends on your style of riding.

Pure Dh:boxxer
Pure Fr:888
Both:888

I run the 888RC2X. Theyre are awesome for all the above

Obviously not :)

I had 888RC2X's on before I got the Boxxers and they are a great fork for Freeriding. I got the boxxers mainly because of the 350 odd price gap to get the 888's.

Haven't ridden the Boxxers yet, only got them on the bike today so can't really comment on them. But anyway, can't go wrong with 888's.

BUY NEW
$1500 for fox 40, 888, boxxer team/race at "the bike shed" mortdale
check the website site
i would never buy second hand forks,
like the wise man says "you get what you pay for"
