I think you did well, I have the top and bottom and you will be very old before you wear it out. I paid less, but even with that picture of the box it looks like it is in better shape then mine was when I got it. In case you don't know, SO still carries parts for it, I had to replace all the nylon bumpers on the top to keep it from being metal to metal on the lid when you put it down and they still have them.
