I feel like second-hand carbon rims (and spokes if you decide to sell them - I've never heard of second-hand spokes) are going to lose a lot of value since the #buyer is basically unable to assess the structural integrity of the rim, and there's a major risk of unplanned dentistry
especially with the front wheel.
Anyway my point is you might be better off buying a relatively cheap QR fork and using that until you run the wheel into the ground rather than losing money by selling it for less than it's worth. You could use it as a training wheel and put a nicer one on when you race, or buy a really nice fork and use that wheel as your race wheel.
