Hey guys, a seller on craiglist is selling their (ex's?) humidor and is including a bunch cigars within it.
I'm relatively new to the cigar world so I could only identify one of them (I see one AVO). Can you guys identify the other cigars?
Unfortunately the the two images provided are not hi-res which makes it challenging.

the bands are not randomly revealed, it is like the seller did not want you to be able to ID them. Stay away from this seller would be my suggestion.
How much are they asking for it all? Has it been kept at proper humidity levels? Looks like all cheap cigars. Make her an offer on the humidor but let her know you're not interested in paying any extra for the cheap cigars. I'd say it's worth $50.
Trapped in the People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts.
If you're new to cigars, why does it matter what brand they are?
If the price is right and you think the humidity level of the humidor was kept in an acceptable range, you can buy and then experiment.
If you want to get into the hobby in a smarter way than all this, we can help.
The asking was $150. I was mostly curious if there were any rare ones in there that I couldn't identify.
My thinking is there are too many variables to be comfortable buying that.
If you find some you like, it's possible you won't be able to find more of them. It's highly likely that the humidor has been neglected and the cigars are dried out.
It's even more likely (assuming you enjoy cigars and stick with the habit) that you'll get tired of the effort that (most) wooden humidors require and migrate to a cooler or Iris Weathertight storage box.
The cigars in the picture do indeed look rare to me, probably because they're the junk I never smoke. ;-)
How hard will it be for you to buy this for say, $125? If you can afford to gamble with that amount, it may be a fun experiment.
I'd go for a @JGruvey sampler before buying this.

You just never know if the humidor was maintained. Even if there was something rare in there it's probably junk like a Mexican Cohiba.
