Good deal or not? And Victor questions

Won this off ebay a few days back:

Third series erie, clean, sits flat on the heat ring, no cracks, etc. with a bit of a downward cup in the cooking surface. Got it and an unmarked lodge #8 lid for $50 including shipping. Good deal, you think?

Also, here is a Victor #7 I'm considering putting up on eBay. Perfect condition. What is a reasonable starting bid that you think I should put on this particular skillet?

While I'm at it here is a BSR 8 with matching lid. One of my favorites and no plans to sell, but wonder at the going rate for a set like this? Thoughts?

Hi Jared, I'd say you did pretty good on that Erie 8 w/lid. Does the Lodge #8 lid fit the pan well?
The Victor 7 is in nice shape. If you check ebay completed listings, they have been going for 35-70 dollars..so that's quite a range. You just never know...
I like your stovetop..what brand of stove is that?  :)

It's a Frigidaire; was part of my wife's Christmas present. The lid fits the Erie well enough, but it's destined for my mom. She has had a 3-notch Lodge 8 of about the same vintage for years (i.e.- before I was born) and needed a lid, so the fact this particular listing came with a lid was a neat bonus. The BSR lid fits the BSR real nice, though.  :P

As to the Victor, yeah, the large range of sold prices on eBay is what had me confused on how to list it appropriately. I'll probably kick it off at $40-$50 and see where it goes from there.
