Needing advice on replacing struts and strut mounts

I emailed the guy that's selling the MT Shocks for $110 on Ebay, asking him if they were new shocks. His response:
"they were previously installed on a factory car and later taken out before the vehicle left the dealership. The new owner of the car left them behind because he upgraded to A spec struts."
Does this sound right? I thought A spec and MT were basically the same. Hrmm

BASE....MT and AT.
TYPE-S
and Aspec
4 different OEM shock and spring combos that were available for the TL from the Honda factory.....
it makes sense to swap from BASE to ASPEC!
because the Aspec set was track tuned.
the ASPEC is stiffer and lower just a enough to gain a faster time through the willow springs track

My front driver side just went out at nearly 110,000. Funny thing is that it was just at the dealership for brakes and then at the tire place for new tires. Seems too much of a coincidence. I have a feeling something happened being up on the rack.
Found this site:
Acura Parts & Accessories - Genuine Factory OEM | Acurapartsworld.com
My local dealer pricing for 2 complete assemblies is $509.08 out the door. This site was ~$376.54 including shipping. Seems like a good price from what I've seen online.

Update...
OK...I tried to call the place I listed below today, just to ask a couple of questions (and make sure they're legit!), every time I called, seemed like someone picked up the phone and hung up.
Sooo...I did a quick search and fond another place, in AZ, and the pricing was a bit less. However, since they are closer to me in So-CAL, the shipping was cheaper also. Someone actually picked up the phone, and I ended up ordered 2 front shock assemblies and front brake pads for a total of $387.10.
I'll report back if I have any issues. The Website for this place is:
