Probably a 50/1.7. That's worth a bit over $100 AUD (say 140?) depending on condition. Maxxum 7000 worth maybe 20 if working well (and you're interested in film). The sigma lens - well depends, it might be worth getting, but if you plan to upgrade to an a700 or similar in the future, the faster AF drives tend to strip the gears in those lenses.

I'd say 200 is a little high, but if it's the 50/1.4, it's a good deal.

It's the 50/1.7 (note the 1.7 written around the rim of the front element - at the bottom in this instance:  50mm  1:1.7 (22) )

I haven't used gumtree auctions - can you make a lower offer?

Oh, and if it's the 7000 you're after rather than lenses, I have a 7000 I got for $20 (part of a deal) - never used it but was told it works, and has the data back thingo  - you can have it for the same + postage from melbourne if you want

The 50 f1.7 is probably worth getting, it is a lovely little lens giving great colour and sharpness. It is also 'fast' enough (IE has a large enough aperture) to take indoor shots without using flash, or to have a very narrow DOF, etc.
It will certainly allow you to try things that the kit lens won't.

Here in the UK they are going to over £50 on Ebay, so the package probably isn't bad value.

I knew they had gone over the £50 mark, but had not been watching the prices (as I already have a nice copy), but am surprised it's gone this high (but probably should not be, having seen the Beercan prices do something similar).
