Tubes....did I pass up a good deal?


I have an ARC PH3 SE and want to re-tube it. It has 3 6922 tubes. I called Andy at Vintage Tubes awhile back and have not heard from him since.
I was at an audio flea market today and someone had a pair of "very little" used Amprex 6922 with gold pins. The cost was $60 for the two. He would add one more Amprex from another pair (he says this one was not "private stock" for and cost of $20. Total $80.
I passed......
I simply felt unsure of the match, age, and quality.....

Did I pass up a good deal?

The jury is mixed but, there was a quad of the Amperex Orange Globe 6922 gold pins here on Audiogon for $150.00. So maybe the price was right. But I think it is best to pass on a deal if it doesn't feel right.
