This is the set I got, although if you're outside Australia you might want to get it Here
Buying seconhand is certainly worth a shot if you're looking for a starter plane, although it's always a bit of a gamble. Very satisfying if you can get a rusty old wreck and bring it back to useable condition!
If you would prefer to buy new have a look at this Woodstock set on Amazon:

This looks practically identical to the Faithfull set which is commonly available in the UK. In which case expect the pieces to be a little rougher than in the product photos! Again assuming the quality is the same they're well usable and excellent value for money, once the irons are sharpened properly.
You should also consider a belt sander, which is far better as a sanding option for taking the surface off rough wood than a random-orbit. Will do a decent job at flattening off too.
Sorry, no advice here but..
