Depending on what he did to it you'd need:
Shifters: $10 used
FD: $10 used
RD: $15 used
Chain: $15 new
Freewheel: $20 new
Cables: $10 new
Crankset: $15
You may be able to do better than the prices I listed but the prices I listed are realistic as well.
I think Your crankset price maybe sounds a bit low at $15,..($30 maybe??).... unless it just a lowly swaged arm model that's kinda beat up.....
I assume the rest of the prices for used stuff reflect well used but servicable condition mid level components.
Also, if the frame is in very good condition it might be well worth putting in a bit more money to build it up with newer/better components.
