I bought a new set of Koni's for our bus fleet in 1997.  They were the 16,000 lbs. per column rated units.  We used them daily for years without a single problem and I highly recommend them.   Much better than the screw jack kind like Seafac.  With the hydraulic lifts, they go up and down much faster, and no maintenance. I just have a used set of Seafacs in my home shop now but don't use them much.  These ones are 15K per column.  We paid 22,000 for ours in '97, I expect these to be valued around 10-12,000, anything less is a good deal.
