Thanks for the pointless PM costa, lets keep it on your thread if you want to disagree though.
I don't need to use them to tell you they are unusable... and in fairness they are not unusable in much the same way as a car with no steering wheel or maybe some shit-soiled calvins are not totally unusable. However your forks have seen enough stress to take them past their yield strength and on their first step towards failure. They are noticably deformed just below the crown where the fork leg would not normally be raked in manufacture and trying to bend them back from that will make them even more liable to failure. I'm not saying they will definitely break but they are a big step closer to breaking than they were before.
Also, forks that are that tweaked will make the handling on almost anything go to shit. By all means sell them but seriously, £35? for forks that are only good for... well I'm not sure why anyone would want bent forks but I'm sure there'd be some use for them...
Good luck with the sale.
