Anyone interested in long travel F300 rear shocks?

Seeing as I no longer have lifted rear leafs fitted I've now got a near new pair of Monroe GT Gas 15-3137 shocks lying around. Their specs are : compressed length 307, extended length 517- which is around 70mm longer than the stock Feroza shocks extended, but virtually the same compressed.
I've had them for less than six months and they would have travelled less than 5000km. They are as new and bolt straight in with no mods. If anyone is interested I'm looking for around $75 the pair plus postage.
They will only fit narrow tracks and will work with standard height springs no problems.

I forgot to mention, I should have the receipt somewhere for the two year warranty. RRP for them is around $160 IIRC?
They were removed and my shorter Bilsteins were refitted. The Bilsteins give better handling- but you'd expect that for $400 shocks.
I'll attach a pic of them fitted and sitting next to the Bilsteins (the Bilsteins are around 30mm longer than the stock factory ELIII shocks.)

Well, after a long awaited garage clean out these shocks are now listed on Ebay! If anyone is interested the starting price is $39.
I'll be listing a Feroza alternator most likely later today. It was in perfect working order when removed- I upgraded to a higher current alternator due to electric thermo fans, dual batteries and driving lights draining a bit more than stock. It's complete apart from the front pulley.

Bah.
Link the auction
Find anything else in there? What happened to your lifted springs? Any other goodies?

I'm still using the springs- well sort of.... I've made a custom spring pack out of the standard ones and the rock hard lifted ones!
Shocks are here:

Oh yeah, I might as well list my HD clutch kit that I didn't end up using....
I decided a clutch that serious wasn't for me!

With what price could i persuade you to end the auction early and do a private sale?

Ummm.... too late as somebody has already bid on them which means I can't edit the advert at all.
Nobody has expressed much interest in them previously- hence Ebay. Of course I'm hoping all the prices will go higher, but somebody might get a bargain?
See the new thread I created for the other items.
The clutch kit is a long twisted story- I got it off RockMokey after he sold his Feroza and he didn't end up using it. When I recently had my gearbox rebuilt I decided that the ceramic option was a bit too full on for me (daily driven in city traffic, rarely off road) so opted for a heavy duty full face clutch. I paid RockMonkey more than I've got it listed for on Ebay, in turn I think he said it cost him over $330 new?
The alternator would be a good spare for someone who goes off road in mud regularly- when they seem to fail! It just needs the pulley off your old alternator fitted onto it and it's ready to go.
(I needed the pulley to fit onto the Camry alternator I modded to fit.) It's no use to me as a spare because I did some major rewiring to get the new one to fit.
