I was given 2 large bottles by someone who said he is getting out of the hobby. Don't know how old they are....do they go bad?

They don't go bad, but water can evaporate leaving the liquids concentrated. Shake them up to see if there's any solids in it, which would indicate its become too concentrated and the chemicals precipitated into solid form. At that point, I would t use it.
