Aside from the fact that the casting isn't finished/formed or chromed as well as a Snapon; looks good to me and the price is good; all the ratchets I have "watched" go for way more then that!
Snap-On R L72T 3/4" Ratchet Head
As you can see it is finished/shaped more carefully and highly chromed but they are basically the same; this one is quite a bit newer but the design, from what I can tell hasn't changed much! The current models are sealed but aside from that very similar. Heck the head alone is $198.00 without the handle!
Snap-on Stock#: L872 Head, Sealed Ratchet $198.00

The newer models head shape is actually closer to your PAR-X then the previous generation model.

You did alright, While not a gimme, its certainly in the good deal category, especially with the handle.

This raises the question: "is it possible to get a Snapon tool, gimme on eBay?"; everything seems to go so high, can you get a "gimme"? Most of the gimme's I have gotten e.g. $1.00 Snapon combo wrenches; have all been flea market purchases!

Well, it looks from a current group of successfully completed auctions that a 3/4" Snapon ratchet has sold from around $54 to $160 : http://search-completed.ebay.com/sn...atitle=snapon+3/4"+ratchet&sofocus=bs&guest=1
