Wanting to get some drums, found these on craigslist for $500. Is this a good deal?

Ok, so I've been trying to find some nice drums for a fairly reasonable price and I've got my eyes on this bad boy.

It's got upgraded remo heads, Sabian cymbals, looks to be in good condition, an extra cymbal stand/snare stand, throne and 2 mounted toms and 2 floor toms. Is this a fairly reasonable price would you say?
It certainly looks like a fair deal.
From what I could google up, new z5s go for around 400$, but these extra goodies make this worth it's price!
Firstly, getting the DW hardware (the kick pedal and the hi hat stand) is wonderful and these will probably serve you a long time. Secondly, I heard these Sabians are [I]great[/I] for a starter kit. An extra stand is fine too.
I wouldn't expect much from that Paiste cymbal and these drumheads. Both will be probably okay for a beginning, but I would get fresh drumhead as fast as possible, to fine tune the kit to a maximum. A decent ride would be my second purchase to this kit.
I think with a couple of adjustments you could really squeeze a nice sound from that. I totally envy the 2 floor toms as I would play this only with the bigger tom and the floor toms.
Also remeber to inquire what's the deal with the bottom hoops on both floor toms. Did he took 'em down to get a desired sound or are they MISSING???
