Did I Pay Too Much?

Ceicio7 is in route, but in the meantime, scouring eBay for lenses has been tiring. Here's what i ended up with. Done deal, but lenses have not yet shipped...did i get these for a fair price?
24mm FD 2.8 SSC, lens appears in great condition, got it for $90.50
50mm FD 1.4 SSC, again,great condition for $49.99

I have always used a family member's ebay account, because i don't buy or sell often, but this time, i signed up for myself, so i don't want to think that a "0" user would get the shaft haha.
 
in quick retrospect, re-reading my post, i suppose the actual condition of the lenses, once i receive them, will determine resonable value, but since others' "buy it now" on similar lenses were much higher, i'm assuming i got a good deal....i don't know...

both sellers have 10k+ sales and 99+feedback.
 
That's about how much I paid for those exact lenses on ebay. You'll love them if they are in mint condition.
 
pay too much?....eek i'm embarrassed about how much i paid for my lenses (not FD's). They are bargain prices in my books.
 
Chris let me know how those lenses go...or post something :). I ordered both a Nikon and Canon EF mount with my Gh1...may should get an FD as well :)

I have always really like the quality of old Nikon glass...so i am curious about the old Canon glass.
 
I love my old Canon FDs.

FWIW I paid a lot more here for my 50mm f/1.4 and 24 f/2.0 but then I could test them in the stores and pick ones with really smooth focus rings.
 
thanks for the responses guys, i can't wait to get these. neither one was auction, both were buy it now/best offer deals....glad i didn't overpay.
