did i get ripped off LOL

im stupid for not doing my research before i purchased them but i was all caught up in the moment LOL... i purchased a brand new set of blue AEM pulleys from ebay.... the total cost with shipping and everything was $90USD..... at first i didnt hear from him in a few days after i payed him so i thought i got ripped off for my money after seeing he just signed up for his paypal acount and just signed up for his ebay acount too and had 0 feedback.... but i just heard from him and he is shipping them out tonight and emailing me the tracking info.... there is a pic of the exact set i bought below i took the picture from the ebay auction.... did i pay too much ?? how much do these go for brand new ?? i payed $90USD for a total for the item and shipping...

oops forgot to metion there for a B16... (my new one coming )

thanks for your input guys/girls.....

Don't forget that u have to pay duty too...soon as they cross the boarder they tax em. I remember i paid $25 US for a short shifter, and then had to pay another $20 or so CDN duty when i picked them up from UPS. So the $25 US short shifter ended up costing me like $70 cdn. I should have just bought one from a shop up here.
