Most official Fox resellers will price match, even if their current website doesn't reflect the price cuts (successfully applied a coupon on Jenson USA for a shock that was OOS on Fox's store, but had to ask for a price match).
Some very expensive upgrades (e.g. factory forks & shocks) become descent deals with a 30-40% discount. The deeper than 40% discounts are for clothing and accessories mostly.

I'm bummed I didn't pull the trigger on a 29" Factory with Grip 2 and 170mm travel to mullet my Heckler... Sold out fast. If you find what you want, don't hesitate. It will likely sellout.
LMAO!
I second this comment haha!
TIL that before 2020ish, fox's motor vehicle division was not the majority of its sales (now it is).

I wanted a Float X 190x45 shock that went OOS before I could order it in Fox's store, but after I've asked for a price match through Jenson USA that in theory they've honored (as in, not in my hands yet, so...not real!), I might have it anyways
BTW, this year's SC Heclers and Bullits are insanely discounted now...
Just like with the luxury/boutique eMTBs above (Heckler/Bullits etc), non-enthusiasts would roll their eyes on a $5000 pricetag as they would on the original >$9000 pricetags.
But if you were in the market for one of these, you'd be pleased to snatch one for $4K less

I know it is a waste and a hassle to resell, but with sales like that, it might be financially not that different to buy the full fork you actually need and sell the one you have.
e.g. of the grip 2 upgrade kit for your fork is $360 and the new fork with Grip 2 and perhaps 10mm travel over or w/e you wanted to experiment with is ~$700, might make sense to just buy the complete fork and sell your current fork as-is. You will most likely find a buyer for a Fox 36 in the mid $3xx ish range, definately easier than finding a buyer for a GRIP damper that you would be left with if you were to upgrade.
Issue is, ppl buy new forks @ 40% discount, then ask for their used forks 10% less than what they've paid for the new one...greedy
