Re: does this seem ok
They're all aftermarket gaskets most likely. I'm assuming that from the color of the valve cover gasket and the fact that they're comparing the prices to Pep Boys, etc. Many of those will work just fine no matter what, but some of them I'd feel better about if they were OEM Honda parts. Not knowing the quality or construction of stuff like the head gasket would worry me a bit unless you're just freshening up a stock engine for a daily driver. The most expensive thing in there is a head gasket, and that's the one thing you don't want to worry about.
Basically I would say it is a good deal only if you don't care about the quality of your gaskets.

So I'm rebuilding my LS and would just like to know if anybody has purchased a full gasket set like this or if you guys think it would just be shitty from ebay.

Why not just order OEM parts from say www.Majestichonda.com like fabrik8 said.

Manchester Honda usually has good prices too, I used to order all my Honda parts from them back in the day....when I still had a Honda.

I mean this is strictly to get the car back on the road. After I piece together my turbo kit I would be putting in a Honda head gasket anyway. Thanks for the opinions. Josh your still Jewish.

Why not just do it right in the first place? I've learned my lesson, with the ebay gasket kits, oil pumps, water pumps, etc. etc. You save money if you buy the right one first rather than buying the cheap one then the right one.

Buy OEM a complete gasket set from estore.honda.com is like $75ish... or it was for my GSR
EDIT: I didn't know you wanted EVERY gasket. I did the valve cover, dizzy o-ring, spark plug things, etc. Head gaskets are expensive..
