A family of a neighbour who died about 3 weeks ago just brought round his camera stuff and ask me if I wanted it all for £250. So I said yeah no problem, as I knew he had pentax and samsung stuff as he was the one that helped me make my choice. But having just look through everything they have given me I think they have charged me too little.
In the box was
Samsung GX10
Lens 50mm A f1.2
28mm f2.8
Tamron 70-200 f2.8
16-50 f2.8
and a metz Af48 flashgun and they are all really clean and in great condition, should I feel bad or just enjoy.

If they're happy with the price just enjoy, and think of your late neighbour when you use the kit.

As you got such a bargain I'll give you a tenner for the Tamron

If you feel bad why not offer them a bit more? whatever you can afford, alternatively sell the stuff your not really interested in keeping and give or share the proceeds.

I went to see them and asked if they knew how much this was worth, and they sure did, their comment was " the money didn't matter, it was know it would all be looked after and enjoyed.". Guess they don't know me that well.

You are a great guy Jason, very noble of you. That was a fantastic gesture, and you should be extra happy now for knowing that they were aware of the price and were happy with what you paid. You should be able to enjoy the kit with great satisfaction.

Blimey, how very thoughtful and generous of them
As Amin says you did the right thing, now just enjoy the kit.
