Bad, failed, leaking- just NOT dented. if you've got them sitting around after replacing them, let me turn them into $$ for you.

My ML55 is in the shop for new Bilstein shocks right now. I'll make sure to get my originals back for you.

Wow, thanks. I can email you a freight .pdf that you print and tape on the box and then give to the shipping guy. Email me your address when you get an idea of the size and weight of the box and get that shipping ticket and some cash. Have you found better shocks?
