Are these lockers any good? easy to install? how much should one pay for a used one?

10 bolt auburn locker

Most Auburn diffs are limited slips, for some reason lots of people claim limited slips as lockers.
Anyway, Auburn does make a selectable "locker" that's really their limited slip that applies more pressure to the clutch plates when you engage it. So basically when you flip the switch it becomes a very aggressive limited slip, I've heard of lots of problems with them and they're just as expensive as real, reliable lockers.

im personally not happy with mine. i have it in a 10bolt in the rear. it was sold to me under the premise it was a selectable locker, not a limited slip/limited less slip... bastiches
with 37" and dry pack, it unloads or slips and i dont think that could be good, sounds freakin terrible.
twisted up in loose stuff i can still pop it, kinda unnerving.
gonna try and put it up front instead, salvage it and my pocket book instead of tossing it.
so for the money i would stay away from it unless your running 31" forever

When I bought my Jimmy, it had one recently installed in the back. I moved it up front when I did the gears, and it works pretty well. It's certainly NOT a locker, but maybe it helps the 10 bolt survive... In dirt or mud, it'll sling from both sides. Wouldn't actually spend money on one, but if you've got it, use it.
