I guess it really depends on what you're looking for. I believe you get what you pay for, I just added a another 250W halide to my system and cost me close to $500. It involved a Lumenmax III DE pendant, and ice-cap ballast and a Phoenix 14K Bulb. In the end it was good amount of money but I know I'm getting good reflection, efficient and quiet ballast, and desired color to par ratio.

For $70 I wouldn't expect much, cheap noisy refurbished ballast, crappy bulb, cheap reflector and so on. But if it works for you and your budget go for it. It will produce light, but that's all you can really be sure of.
