Let the buy and sell craze begin... thoughts on value

Well I said call me crazy in that other thread... so what would you pay for this combined auction that I found and won...without going to look at ebay? I did question the seller and they stated they really have not had the time to shoot and may have taken 500 shots with the 30D, also they stated they were sorry they did not keep the boxes.

"Up for auction is my entire camera setup. There is a low reserve and is priced to sell. Insurance is included in the shipping. Here is a list of what you will get if you are the winner of the auction. (1) Canon EOS 30D camera body, (1) Canon BG-E2 battery grip, (1) Canon EFS 17-85mm IS Ultrasonic lens, (1) Canon EF 2x II Extender, (1) Quantaray AF 19-35mm 1:3.5-4.5 lens, (1) Quantaray AF 70-300mm 1: 4-5.6 LD Tele-Macro (1:2) lens, (1) QuNTUM BATTERY 1+ FLASH Battery with the cord, (1) Custom Brackets QRS-35 camera bracket for portraits, (1) Westcott Micro Apollo light modifier, (3) Quantaray square filters (by cokin) with the bracket, (1) Canon lens filter, (7) Tiffen lens filters, (5) Quantaray lens filters, (4) Hoya lens filters, (6) Promaster lens filters, (1) Tamrac Expedition 8 backpack camera bag, (1) Canon battery charger and (2) Canon Batteries."

From seing other auctions, it seems the Battery grips do bump up the price, I hope all arrives in decent condition without any issues- the seller is 100% with a 202 rating and a member since 2003 so that helped me with making the purchase as well, along with responding to the question I had.

Seems like a lot of extras though for someone that stated a low actuation count though, but having the Canon EF-S17-85 IS, the Canon 2X II extender and a Tamrac Expedition 8 backpack sold me as I think I'll be able to sell those well. I would likely keep the Canon extender and sell my Sigma APO EX 2X extender. If I prefer the Tamrac, I may sell my Canon Backpack, though if it is in great condition I could do well selling it.

By completed auction sold seperately those 3 items could get me $250, $200, and $150. Then the 2 Quantary Lenses maybe $80 each, and if I throw in some filters with each maybe I could get them to $100. And the 30D with Grip and 2 batteries and charger should do well. And I did not know it but that Quantum Kit if complete sells for $250, and I'll have to see what this custom bracket for portraits is all about along with the Westcott Micro Appollo light modifier.

Well I'll have some decisions to make when all arrives, but I think I can sell a 30D(likely mine if this one is in better condition) and I'd sell it with the Grip and Kit, and mine will be in original box, then sell some other items, and hope to clear atleast $500 beyond what I paid for the above and I'll still have a 30D, unless...
