When to change shocks? Bounce test a lousy test?

When should one change their shocks? Is the bounce test a lousy test? My car has 90,000 mi and doesn't bounce. I don't believe my car is less worn then other cars, though I do a good job of avoiding potholes, reflectors on the lane dividers, and manhole covers. Several years ago, I did have a chance to bounce an old car and saw it keep bouncing (so I think my judgement of bounce is ok). My Saab indie garage says not to bother unless it bounces.
