Subject:Anyone Win those new Syncro OM EMU shocks on ebay?

I was watching them and the set of 4 were at $124 with a day or so
left.  Advertised as brand new and never installed.  Hoping someone
got a good deal on them.

I won an Ebay auction for a set of  4 "used" Bilstein HD's for the GL
that had 3,000 miles on  them for $125.  The standard duty Bilsteins
I have on my GL now are 8 years old and they were taken off an 87 GL
which I have no idea how many miles they had on them when I did the
transplant back then.  Anyone know how to tell when Bilsteins are
shot?  Maybe when the yellow paint turns"rusty" brown?

Considering that the cheapest new Bilstein HD's I could find on line
were $265 for the full set, this auction worked out pretty well for
our post holiday budget situation.
