meh... shocks are one thing Im sketchy about buying used.. thats a good deal if theyre gravy though. I just bought a set of those myself for *cough*more than $100*cough*

The reason being, I recently bought a set of AGX KYBs off a guy on CL, claimed they were installed then immediately removed. He lied.

Pics should tell what kind of condition they are in...$100 I might do it!
