My shock is blown and I don't know what to do about it, the size is pretty rare, and just as expensive as the frame, its also a little old.
FYI it's a 2015 ibis Ripley gen 1 with a fox Kashima shock

Find a suspension shop to rebuild it. I know the ones near me accept shocks in the mail and just send them back. Very easy to remove and reinstall
Rebuild kits are like $20.
YouTube a tutorial and get back to it.
That is a fox float, there are many many shops who can rebuild this for you. Call your local bike shop to see who they use.
This is not a big deal, I wear out the seals in my fox clip shock twice a year, and have to get rebuilt. It’s just a normal maintained thing.
And than the oil and tools are 50…
If you can’t afford 200 to send it off for repairs your best option is pay 50 for a fabricator to make a steel rod to swap the shock with to turn into a sketchy hard tail or sell the bike to someone who can afford to fix the shock and find a cheaper sport to do
I hear darts had a pretty low financial barrier to entry, or barefoot trail running, or bird watching
What are you talking about rare???? Just look for a metric 190x45mm shock if you’re not looking to rebuild it.
