What year and model psylo? I swapped out the manitou six super that came on my 02 jamis dakar sport for an '01 psylo race. It was a major improvement over the lack of adjustability, travel, and no lockout on the low level manitou fork--however I feel your pain in terms of the lack of performance. It was not very sensitive to the terrain and although i never did anything over a few feet off the ground to bottom the fork it did feel like a thick piece of rubber was all the dampening it had in there, hehe. Anyways you should be able to at least get a 100bux for the fork if its fairly new. I paid 125+ trading my manitou to a buddy in this 4-way fork trade he organized and overall I was more or less satisfied with the level of performance I got from the fork considering it had been ridden for about a year by a caring owner previously.
BTW...what type of frame is this fork from and what type(s) of riding do you do. I'd highly recommed picking up an 03 marzocchi Z1. Theres plenty of ppl selling barely ridden ones due to the tire size issue....which really isnt an issue IMO for most riding styles unless you're obsessed with running something bigger than 2.5-2.6 in the front. Unless your into some hardcore freeriding (in which case a DJII is definitely not built for) you really dont need anything bigger than that. Anyways i'm sure you can find ppl selling them in great condition for around $250-325 used and on a few online shops new at ~$350 with the 04's out now. Paying 50-100bux more for the Z1 definitely pays off in performance and adjustability benefits. Otherwise check out a Fox Vanilla RLC (or save a few bux and get the RL or R model). They're a bit more pricy and a bit lighter than the Z1, but still a great fork. I havnt ridden many fox's except on demo rides and on buddies bikes but most ppl have great things to say about em.
