There's a list of things I wouldn't buy used, belts, bulbs, wiper blades and shock absorbers.
Depending on how the car was driven they may last longer then 50,000 miles but for the time and effort to replace them versus the relatively low cost to purchase new ones why bother?

By 50,000 miles, they're total junk.

Melting Slicks
It's been down on stock bolts for 5 yrs or so.
The new shocks raised the car a little (1/4 in)maybe,but it settled down after 300 miles or so.No diff in height now BUT handles lot's better.
