Advice on Buying Lighting Equipment

So my friend :iconkrissybby287: and I both hobby with digital photography. We mostly do outdoor work as we don't have a studio and we don't have any access to lightning equipment for most indoor shoots.

Well recently (as in a few hours ago), my friend ran into a women willing to sell a lighting kit. She bought it for $250 and is willing to sell it for $100 or less.

I've tried looking up the kit to find reviews on it but I haven't found much and I want to make sure that if we buy a kit, that its something is not only good for beginners, but appropriate quality. So here's what's being offered:

Opus opl-m100sr Monolight kit
-Monolight
-flash bulb
-light stand
-umbrella and umbrella mount
-softbox
-barndoors
-snoot
-color filter kit
-honeycomb grid & filters
-carry case

Like I said, I'm not able to find many reviews on it so I would appreciate any feedback on the quality of this kit, any problems that we may have with it etc. Once again, the seller is offer it for $100 or less and this would be our first lighting kit and first experience using lighting equipment.

Thank you!

Its really tempting! Especially since we've been talking about needing to look into this stuff for a while and then just happen to run into a seller.
