He's selling a set of 4 lenses (+1 +2, +4, and macro) for 12.99 $ (+ S&H).
What do you think? Any opinions?

I have a set of lenses like that ..not sure its the same set but the price and description are similar.
The quality of the lens is not very good with the edges dropping off very fast.
the lens are single element like a filter while the good macro lens like the 6T or Raynox 250 or similar are 3 element lens.
If you want to take nice macro photos you would do much better to get something better.
If you just want to experiment to see what all you can do with various power CU lens it may be worth having, but the pictures will suffer.
