Any issues with buying used (>1 yr old) springs?

Just curious as to any negative issues relating to over 1 year old H & R springs or should I just buy new and be done with it? I understand issues with used coilovers but can springs lose some of the coiled strength after awhile?

What issues are there with used coilovers? I'm planning to go the coilover route and was considering used...

Unless they were overloaded, or they were structurally weakened from rust... The liklihood of any actual wear occurring is nill.
