I've got options...what should I buy?

hey guys,

a photog friend of mine passed away unexpectedly this last year,
and he had a ton of lighting equipment and other gear to his name.
His family is tasking me with selling it, but they want me to buy and keep some of the gear I might find useful.

There's about 8 softboxes of various sizes (all rectangle, with one strip box)
roughly 9 umbrellas, some are very, very large, most silver/white
1 22" beauty dish (Impact brand) with a honeycomb grid (removable),
More stands than I can care to count - some Impact, some Manfrotto.

4x Impact SF-ABRL160s
1x Impact VSLCD 400W monolight
2x Impact VC-500LR monolights

and hardware, few barndoors, snoots and cables ad nauseum.

I currently own two little 36" shoot-thrus and two 45W hairlights that I use for my
product photography. They're crap for anything else.

I realize this gear isn't top quality, but I feel like I could use it for portraiture, and it's better than what I own,
and they're willing to give me prices I can afford.

If I could only get a few things, what would you all suggest?

I was thinking the 400W, a 160 or two, a few soft boxes and the beauty dish and sell the rest for them.
But then I don't really know what I'm doing with studio lighting. Figured this might be a decent way to start.
Thoughts?

Without any discussion of price the question of what to buy and what to pass on is pointless. At the right price keep all of it, at the wrong price pass on the lot.

that's a good point--they're giving it to me at a good price.
Because of space concerns and money concerns I can only keep some.
That said, they're trusting me to give them accurate used prices and then go from there.
They do want to help me out.
So let's assume the price is pretty dang good and I have limited space.

You can never have enough light stands ..........and different sizes of soft boxes.
You need at least one boom .


I use a AB/1600 and a white lightening 1600 and strip soft boxes for lighting on my product shots .
.( pool cues and exotic wood products ).

If there is wireless remotes, those come in handy.

ok! I've got wireless remotes already....


I'll set aside a few softboxes though...they do seem like they'd be handy.
