Hi, long time reader, first post here... I've just gotten into extract brewing, literally have been going for a month and a half now, and i saw this ad on craigslist and hoped some people had some feedback as to whether this was a good deal or not. Here's the ad:

Serious 5 gallon, all grain brewing system

mash / lauter tun, conical fermentor, grain grinder, bench bottler, bottle tree, 1 gallon mini keg system, on & on

$350

What I have right now are basically the absolute beginner's stuff -- plastic primary fermentor, 1 5-gal glass carboy, 5-gal brewpot...

So what do you all think? Should I pounce? Or pass?
 
IMO, not enough info there to tell if it's a deal or not. If it's really a conical fermenter, and if the "grain grinder" is a good mill (Barley Crusher, Crankandstein) then it could be a great deal. OTOH, you could find $100 worth of stuff that would match that description, too.
