Very good price. Remember the bulb should be replaced after a years use though.

I'll give you 2 grams for it, since it's been owned twice.

yes thats a really good deal.
for my full 400w MH setup i paid $250 brand new.
so certainly used $50 is a great deal. he could probably get at least $100 for it but hey dont tell him that
and of course find out how old the bulb is in it. and how many hours it has been used and look at it to make sure theres no cracks ect. if it hasnt had too much use its probably okay to keep using it, but I would say buying a new one is a worthy investment if you can afford it. I think they are typically about $50 for the bulb depending on the watts. at least thats what it is in my area. im sure its different everywhere.

I hear you. I get all my 400w bulbs for free from a cousin that works at a light store. But they don't have the 1000w bulbs I use so I got to spring for those. I know, I know poor me.yes thats a really good deal.

You could always give one of these guys lights a try.
Economy 400 Watt HPS / Metal Halide Grow Light - eBay (item 170215655444 end time May-12-08 09:07:24 PDT)
I am considering it myself, unless I see a better deal on craigslist. I figure I can buy one of these lights off of ebay and upgrade part by part. Get a better hood when a deal pops up, then a digital balast.. ect.
