Congratulations on your find! I see people have already pointed out about the keyboard and mouse, so I'll just add that until you get a monitor lined up, you can put Workbench into 320x200 mode with the configuration dialog, which will make it a lot more readable on composite video.

Cost isn't actually too bad within the continental US, and if you get it from someone who knows their way around computer equipment, they'll know to pack it thoroughly. Flicker-fixers and the like are always an option, but it might be worth your while to just get a Commodore monitor.
