Depends on the time of usage and what they look like. I have had friends that have boughten used shocks but we were able to visually inspect them for leaks and test the stiffness of them. If you can get your hands on them I would check them for oil leaks and other visual problems. If you wanted most alignment shops have machines to test the stiffness of shocks and last time I checked it was about 10 bucks for all four. Cheap insurance for a nice set of shocks. Like I said if you can physically see them in person and check them over I would go for it but if it is on eBay or something I would be kind of leery since they could just clean them up and make them look like new. Buying anything used is always a toss up.
