like new nikon d80
Sigma dg 28-300mm 1:3.5-6.3 Lens
Bower 62 Ser VII Titanium super wide macro lens 0.42xaf

all for just $350. I decided instead of going straight into a $1000++ camera + lens while I know nothing about photography to instead get more of a starter set and take a few classes.

What do you guys think?

Ask to meet in public and have a buddy with you. A lot of people do things like this where they ask you to come to a place where they have like 10 people and rob you.

I was definitely planning on having a friend come with. We're two pretty big guys and I'm not bringing cash so I think we'll be fine.

When I saw it I thought it was too good to be true also. Is there anything I should look for/try when I test it?

edit, so I assume this seems like a great deal to you guys as well?

Everything their is dated heavily. Im guessing its probably not in the greatest shape or has a high amount of shutter clicks.

In my opinion id buy used from bh or adorama and find a more up to date camera+glass or just get a new camera.

They are online camera stores. If you are going to buy used, might as well buy from a reputable dealer.
