what a deal?

Four pairs of real, unused, East German Army wool pants for $21.97.
Questions:
1) Where do they come from?
2) Have they really been sitting in a warehouse in former East Germany for 18 years?
3) Are they very poor quality?
4) Will they fit?
The last is especially important, because I ordered them.
Update: Danke Kameraden! They do fit pretty well - they are about half an inch too short, but when I wear them with boots or work shoes that won't matter - and are made of pretty thick wool. I wonder how long they will last? And in answer to Mom's question in the comments, I will wear them when doing outside chores on cold days or perhaps when pulling children through the snow on tube-sleds. You better watch out, Elias!
