He has accepted my offer of $1450 for the lot and is willing to wait until the beginning of March when my bonus arrives. I'm thinking I'm crazy not to jump on it but just wanted an outside opinion on the lenses.

Does NOT sound like that great of a deal to me.
As mentioned by a previous poster the neither the non-STM version of the 18-135 or the 75-300 lenses would be ones that I would purchase.
Canon regularly runs the deal with the free Pixma printer.
Are the 3 batteries all genuine Canon?
AC/DC battery charger sounds like an after market charger.
So basically you're paying full (new) price for the camera and 18-135 lens, minus the oem charger and batteries (maybe).
And getting a free:
tripod with a video head. ~$220 new
cheap monopod ~$13 new
back pack ~70 new
dual sling ~$30 new
EF 75-300 to sell on ebay ~$80
Doesn't sound like a smoking deal to me and personally I wouldn't do it.
