is this a good deal for a 600w

My friend has a bulb thats been used over a year, a 600w hps and it still works fine. He wanted to know if i wanted that and a lumatek ballast for $200. He's moving to a non medical state and has to get rid of it fast. Also a 20x20 in hood with glass for $50.

Eh...not really...

You can get a new switchable ballast, with 2 new bulbs(MH and HPS), and an air cooled hood with light hangers and a timer for 219 bucks shipped on ebay.

Wow, not bad at all! I don't know why and this sounds stupid but I never thought to look on ebay for grow equipment. LMAO

Yeah, once I figured out that ebay and amazon had the cheapest prices, I went on a rampage. Got some great deals, no regrets so far. Everything I've purchased has been awesome(knocks on wood).

What kind of hood is it?

a bulb that has been used for a year will be nowhere near as efficient as it should be

i like htgsupply.com they have nice prices as well. they even throw in free goodies like stickers and lighters.

I have used them and like them to. but depending on what state you live hydronic supply lighters and stickers are not a good thing. I have went to a friends house and seen a sticker and instantly knew they were growing or had been growing. Not always a good thing for pot heads to have laying around.
