For $250, this guy was selling the following:

1 Plastic bottle fermenter (6 gallon)
1 starter bottle (one gallon glass bottle)
1 siphon
hoses
6 gallon plastic bucket fermenter
6 gallon plastic racking bucket (with spigot)
beer thief (for easily extracting beer from carboy for testing)
hydrometer
bottle capper
bottle caps
2 brushes with wire handles (carboy and bottle)
3 fermentation locks
1 large funnel
blowoff hose
powdered cleaner
sanitizer
scale
1 high quality 6 gallon brew kettle
1 lesser quality 5 gallon brew kettle
carboy dryer (stand to put carboy in upside down while drying)
8 mini kegs (1 1/2 gallon each)
8 bungs for mini kegs
two mini keg taps (CO2 cartridge driven)
3 soda kegs (6 gallons each)
CO2 cylinder for soda kegs (5 pound)
regulator
1 plastic tap for soda kegs
20 bottles (24 oz)
1 copper tubing immersion wort chiller
plastic paddle 18 inch (for stirring wort)
rubber stoppers for all fermenters
5 brewing books - Joy of Homebrewing, Homebrewers Companion, Beer

So I contacted him and he said it was mine for $250. I drove about an hour and met him at his place. I did a quick check and everything appeared to be there and the kegging equipment looked in great condition. Then he changed the deal on me...he only wanted $200. Apparently he had offered the stuff to someone else @ $200, but they backed out and he was going to give me the same deal. I took him up on it (the kegging equipment, which is what I was after, cost more than $250).
After I got home and inventoried everything, I found these extras:

After I got home and inventoried everything, I found these extras:
- the siphon, is an auto-siphon and in good condition
- the hydrometer came with a sampling cylinder
- the scale was missing, but I already have one
- the spoon and blowoff tube are crap, no problem
- 6 books instead of 5 and I only had Beer Captured already
- a couple of steeping socks
- a chain hanger kit (anyone have any idea what this is for?)
- 1 oz. Irish Moss
- some Whirlfoc
- Divergan F
- Oak Chips
- Safale S-04
