Just went sit with my dad. I've got some things to build off of. He gave me some common shutter speeds and f-stops to start with and a few other tips to start.
As far as the price, I don't think I got ripped off, but I definitely didn't get a great deal. It's only 6 months old and was barely taken out of the bag, so I'm not too worried about the used vs just buying new. Such a variance in prices online though, especially comparing individual items to buying packages.

If it was me (read just my opinion) I'd sell the two kit lenses on eBay and keep just the 50mm. Learn with that. I'm assuming by "nifty fifty" it's the 1.8. In my opinion it's the best low cost lens around and can be replaced used for $50 or less if you ever damage it.
The TXi's are great little bodies for the price (you paid too much
but not by a lot)
I prefer working with primes or zooms with a constant aperture ($). The prime will force you to move your body to compose the shot you want and again, IMO, is the best way to learn.
A 35mm 2.0 is another prime that can be had with expense and for your crop, is a perfect combo. I also love the little 40mm pancake, it's a sweet little piece of glass and allows my to carry my 7d or 6d in a smaller package which is really nice for walks/hikes and shooting landscape.
Congrats on your purchase and have fun!
