Is this a good deal or has he inflated the price he supposedly paid for this package, I googled Bic 7"3 minimals and can't find one over £240, and the wetsuit is about £120 new - http://belfast.gumtree.com/belfast/33/41091533.html

There is also this one for £225 but I could probably get him down to £200, is this any good? http://belfast.gumtree.com/belfast/77/41580877.html

Thanks in advance

It's a good deal on a durable board, I don't like them because they are heavy and really aren't hand shaped, but as to price it seems like a good deal.

Local Motion hasn't made boards with that logo in over 20 years, stay away from it.

OK thanks, I'll stay away from those boards then.

How about either of these?

Not sure, never heard of hawaiian soul surfboads, but the shape looks great for a begginer.

The Bic is a good deal. I don't like them, but as a begginer you will be dropping it and scrapping it, they are virtually indestructible
