    A few very important questions to ask the seller would be what brand is it, did he / she get it new or used, where did they get it and how old is the fixture and each bulb.

    I agree bulb age will be very important. If you have to replace bulbs right away it wont be worth the savings.

    You could always rip the PC's out and put in t5s.

    How many watts is that MH?
