The degree of "deal" would depend on ballast type, enclosure and what the sockets were like. No harm in looking, just be sure you know what it's worth new.

agreed just thought it sounded like a good deal :)

As I am looking to upgrade my ballasts I looked into that. 15 yo ballasts and 5500k bulbs - not such a good deal.

15 yo ballasts yikes ,kinda on the old side sorry about that.
