I dunno, 20 bucks for a 100 dollar bulb seems OK to me. Even if it fails in 3 months you are ahead.

is it like a just bulb or a ballest and bulb? or do you already have the ballest?

I would also be scepticle of second hand bulbs. can you get any info in it. Like how long it has been used for and stuff like that.

On a side note. It might be worth picking it up just to have as spair. That way if you main bulb braks you don't have to be panicking about getting a new one.

It wasn't used much, let's say max one grows worth.

From the first bit of info you posted it looks fine.

I don't beleave that there is that much in bulbs really. your ballest will make a bigger differance.

Deffinatly should pic the bulb up, it will be usefull to you one day.
I was told that bulbs lose 20% on there first grow.

both too much and too little info there..can't tell what they are from those specs , sorry.
