I like the idea of grouping the less murderboney items into a cheap bundle to encourage being a sneaky spy jerk.
Only problem is with how unnecessary spy shit tends to be. If you're looking just to kill people and get away with it, as most antags tend to do, often all you need is a stun baton and an airlock. Spying on people also doesn't have much to be gained, aside from knowing what gear they have to adjust robusting strats; finding people is straightforward, either they're in their departments, missing and never seen again, or stumbled upon in the hallway and beaned with a toolbox.
Course, the stickers would be fantastic for remote-detonated TTVs, the agent card for buying super armor and HE shotgun shells, and the moustache and jumpsuit for making people think you're an idiot. I could go into some of the ways to make spy antics more viable, but that's probably a bit beyond this thread's scope.
