Hi I am wondering if it would be a good deal to pay 100 dollars for 30 lbs of knex. The set doesn't contain any big heavy boosters and it is almost all pieces

We need more information. Pictures and a longer description would help us determine if it's a good deal. Although the staff and more experienced builders could help you the most.

I prefer to buy knex by the piece because weight is not a good way to measure knex. An example would be tires weigh about 10x more than gray rods and are pretty much worthless.

I emailed the people selling it and they said it has a complete 6 ft ferris wheel, a complete big ball factory, and about 500random pieces

^^ It's a lot more expensive that way though.

Dabubs, I would definitely buy that if that 6 foot Ferris Wheel is one of these. K'NEX 6-foot Ferris Wheel

Most Craigslist purchases are local, why not just go look at what they have? Would probably be expensive to ship anyway.

If you do go, take a buddy or two with you.
