Default used aluminum ds question

looking at picking a used one up for $150. What are your guys' thoughts on a used driveshaft? anything i should look for? is this a solid price for a used one in decent shape? (sorry no pics)

thanks

The price is good, but I'd inspect it closely before I bought it.
I'd also grill the owner on why they are getting rid of it until I was satisfied that I had the true answer.

well I picked up the ds, I measured the length and it was correct, it was clean, after I got it home I measured the OD of it, and it's smaller than the cobra ones and the FMS ones.... turns out its an Aerostar one, from a little research it looks like I can use it but still, fml lol

Oh well.
Look on the bright side, a smaller OD means less rotational inertia

haha yea. the only reason I need one is to get rid of the vibrations caused by the 4.10's, so as long as it does that I'll be fine with it.
