Value?

I was just on e-bay checking prices on XL-1s. Boy are they low. Mine is still in good shape.

In today's market (obviously this would be for someone starting out); How much would you pay for the following set-up? I think the tripod is pretty expensive. Even though it's a lo-end Sachtler.

XL-1 with 2 extra long life batteries, one normal and a charger. All come in a soft carry bag.

A Sony monitor with cable to hook right into the XL-1.

A Sachtler Video 10 Tripod with hard shell case.

A Lastolite Reflector Set.

The only thing someone would need to start shooting is sound equipment. If they used the attached mic, they're all set.
 
Maybe $1500? I'd be looking for a deal if I was going Mini DV Personally. XL-1's look like they go for $800-1100 and that tripod is about the same. Gotta remember that you can get a killer heavy-duty three stage Manfrotto brand new for under $700 these days. Not sure what type of monitor exactly, but if you're buying bundled you should be getting a deal you know?

Never fun dealing with depreciation. Hope it sells well!
