You weren't robbed, Bennehboy, but yesterday I could have bought similar lenses, well the much newer f6.8 90mm SA (but cheaper), and a 150mm MC Symmar for $445, but that's life and unusual, but the US $ is so low in value, and the Symmar may be older.
The Prontor shutters are much sought after and sell for high prices even with no lens mounted in them. So that adds a significant value to your lenses value.
You could easily pay £500 + or a good f5.6 90mm Sper Angulon in a Copal shutter from a reputable UK dealer so to get both lenses in excellent condition you've done well.
Good luck & let us see some images.

I'll post some photos soon I hope - going to wait until I've shot this first box of colour neg before sending them away to develop. Got a few bits to come yet before I start shooting in 'volume', namely a focusing cloth (Blackjacket Mark II) and a case to cram everything into.
