It's a good deal, but no way is it over $1000 worth of equipment. I did a few sums based on eBay UK prices: you could buy the camera and lenses individually for about £150 ($230); the other bits and pieces could probably be purchased for under £75 ($115) individually (assuming the filters are reasonably good quality).
So, that's a discount of $195 on around $345 worth of gear… a nice bargain but nothing extraordinary.

I see your point I didn't really add the prices up exactly just guessed.. But now that I look at eBay a Canon 50mm 1.4 + the 135mm will normally together be more than 300 just for that used so I see it as a pretty good deal

If it was the 50mm f/1.4 it would be a much better deal - the pictures show the f/1.8 version however, which usually goes for around £30 ($46). The f/1.4 sells for two or three times the price.
I thought it was at first but my 1.8mm looks nothing like that, I can tell that it is hard medal and bigger than mine so I hope its the 1.4 lol.. But if not then I'll probably throw the deal off
It's the 1.8, it's clearly marked in the second picture and looks exactly like mine.
Also, I have the 135, which is a beautiful lens but is only a 3.5.
Still a decent deal with the filters and case (if they are in decent shape).
