Default Re: good deal?

Do they all look clean, do they work, what kind of paint is it, how old is the paint, what kind of compressor is it, and what do you plan on doing with the airbrush?
Answer those questions, and we can give you a whole lot better or more accurate feedback.

If the airbrushes are like new, and they are suitable for what you plan on doing, then they may be worth the deal, but so much depends upon what kind of work or painting you plan on doing.
If you are planning on doing T-shirts, then the mini compressor will probably not be powerful enough, or have enough reservoir space to handle your needs.
If you are planning on doing medical illustration, then the airbrushes may not be what you want.
If you have smaller hands, then you may find those airbrushes to be a bit cumbersome, both have pretty good size bodies on them.
If the paints are too old, or haven't been stored properly, then they may not work, and depending upon the type of paint, they may not be what you want to use anyway.

I'm sure you probably wanted to be told you got a screaming good deal, but as you see, there are a few variables involved.

Let us know the answers to the questions, then we can help.

On the surface, it sounds like a prety good deal Ralph, but as Fontgeek says, lotsa questions .
