FS: 54w T5 HO ballasts in Chicago NW suburbs (will ship)

I have sold all the old stuff that I had in the lighting department except (3) 54w HO T5 ballasts.... I need to sell these to buy a sump so they're going cheap.

Theyre BRAND NEW never been used... I am just going with a MH and VHO setup now instead.......

Each ballast will fire 1 or 2 54w HO T5 bulbs... Advance brand. They cost me $45 plus shipping at hellolights just a few months ago....

$20 each ballast picked up (i'm in Streamwood), $25 each shipped, or $70 shipped for all 3....

Will these work with any T5 HO light and end caps as long as they are 54 watt?

if you look at the lable, I think it will do 24,39 or 54watt bulbs, max 2x 54w bulbs < I think.
