If I didn't have anything, I'd go higher than that. The barred hackle alone is $16 or more and shipping would be an issue. The tying station is handy if you put up and take down, or just want to organize some. It's hard to price someone else' stuff. The question really is(I think), What's it worth to you and will it get you off the ground. Tools look OK for starters, and plan on buying a GOOD pair of scissors no matter what you buy in a kit. My big question is; does the pool table come with it?
