Is this a good deal?

I'm pretty new to cding. A lady on a local swap page has a lot for sale. She's gotten alot of interest in parts of it but won't split. I'm wondering if it's worth it. Help?

10 bumgenius 4.0 - 2 with major staining 8 with moderate staining application
3 dozen prefolds (sizes vary premie to toddler Capri size? )
3 rumparooz 6 R hemp insert
6 knickers nappies super duo medium
3 knicker nappies loopy do
1 swaddlebees looped hemp
1 baby kicks large hemp insert
5 hemp babies doublers
3 small happy heiny stuff ins
2 blueberry pail liners
1 medium wet bag
2 wipe size wet bags
Wipe warmer
2.5 package of disposable liners

She wants 150 for it all.

I would pass only bc BG'a aplix sucks and the rest of that is a lot of odds and ends. I'd rather spend 150 on 10 new best bottoms without all that other junk.

It would be a good deal it the 4.0s are in great shape. The staining isn't a big deal, but like TJ said, if they are aplix, thats bad, and elastic may need to be replaced too.

They are aplix. How hard is snap converting? And replacing elastics? I have my stash and love it but want to help my cousin out on getting started on hers with a tight budget. I wouldn't mind trying hemp inserts as well. I'm really tempted. If we hate them we can sell them off and get some money back...

It takes me a good 45 minutes to remove the hook and loop from a pocket.  The snap part maybe 15-20 minutes.  But my sewing experience is very little.  If you're good with a ripper, then it will go faster.  

Elastic maybe 30 minutes a piece?  You need to replace 3 areas in the diaper.

And don't forget you need snap pliers and snaps to add.  For BG diapers that's 24 snaps for each diaper.

So I met the lady to look at the diapers and they are in amazing condition. The aplix looks brand new the elastics are tight. Turns out they were only used for 6 months before they moved. If they didn't have some stains you would think they were new. I bought them. I'm excited to try the hemp inserts and doublers in them. It's a huge stash. I'm excited. They may turn me into a pocket lover.
