I want an easy to set up light that I can fold up and store in a closet. I don't want to spent a lot of money because it's not something I'll use all the time. (Used would be ok if I knew what I was looking for).
Basically I end up being my own model for nudes that I paint from, although I have a couple of friends that I might get to pose at some point. Dragging every light fixture I have in my house into one corner to do a shoot is a pain in the butt that I don't need on top of running back and forth between said corner and my little point and shoot camera on a timer. (Come to think of it, a real sized tripod might be nice too vs the minor tripod on top of a box on top of a stool.)

Do you have a window with privacy? I like natural light best, and a big window, with or without sheers is, in my opinion, the best light set up there is.
Take a look at B&H Photo and video, Adorama, Samy's online. Look for a two-light kit that comes with 2 stands, 2 adjustable lights and two umbrellas. There are small travel kits that will do the job.
You can probably get a light weight tripod for $50-ish dollars.
