RE: good deal?
7.2v power isn't going to run much faster on a brushless vs. brushed system. You are going to want higher capacity cells and more voltage (8.4v, 11.1v) to take full advantage of the brushless capability.
By the way, a deal on ebay is never a good deal until the auction ends. Everything always looks like a good deal until the last 60 seconds. Pretty much why I always deal in BIN's only. If it ends for $100 with $20 shipping then I think you got a good deal, sure. Typically not a good idea to publish an active auction that you are trying to get a good deal on because you might bring more bidders to the auction. You should keep those to yourself. I found that auction in about 5 seconds by searching for the keywords you provided.
You an always use completed auctions as a good way to see if something is a good deal. See what others have paid and make the decision for yourself.

RE: good deal?
Yeah I'd say its a good deal also , but like was stated before , its gonna go up alot from 100 dollars . I'd say at least 150 if not more by the end of the auction .
