30k miles on the rears, give or take. Maybe 10k on the fronts.
I can't answer the "worth" question for you, but there is plenty of life left in these shocks. I've used Konis on previous cars for twice as long as these with no appreciable loss of function. If you can get new Konis for under $500 a set, that's a screaming deal. The best price I've seen online is just under $650 a set.
These are the standard Koni Sports for the RX-8. Fronts are adjustable from the top on the car. Rears must be removed from the car and the shock shaft compressed to adjust, just like any others.

In other words, they’ll work quite well with anything from stock spring rates up to about 450/300. Even when paired with the stock springs they are a dramatic improvement in ride and handling over the underdamped factory shocks. These are exactly the same shocks as the ones that have won SCCA B Stock five years in a row!
I am selling because I am developing my car for the SCCA’s STX class, and I’m prototyping new coilover suspension packages for a company called Endura-Tech. So, I no longer need the Konis.
Thanks for looking!

Having never installed shocks... How much would you expect a shop to charge reasonably? Or is it a DIY thing? I've done all maintenance on my car myself so far, though i do know this will ruin my alignment...

I can't believe these aren't sold.
PBlue: I've shops charge $300 for a suspension install. I did it with the help of a friend and we knocked it out in a couple of hours. There's a few good DIY's around here that will help guilde you along the way and of course having the right tools will speed things up. (spring comperssor, full tool box, beer, etc)

C'mon guys - these shocks are probably the best bang-for-the-buck suspension upgrade you can do for the RX-8! Ditch those horrible underdamped factory shocks and get you some Konis! :D
