What'cha think? Did I get a good deal?

My daughter Melanie has been talking to me lately about getting an older film camera to shoot around with. I once bought her a Canon rebel and she was taking good pictures with it, but that camera got stolen.

So, I found this near mint Canon AE-1 at a garage sale. I wanted to offer the lady $25 for it but decided to asked her how much she wanted for it, and she said, "Well, I bought it for $300 but I'll let you have it for $20." I responded, "I'll take it for $20!"

I'll probably shoot a roll of film through it before I send it to my daughter, just to make sure it's working and there are no light leaks.
