Spent $250 on a used Mamiya 645 and the light seals were toast

Bought a Mamiya 645 off Craigslist for $250, thought I got a steal until every roll had light leaks. Took me like 2 hours and $8 in foam from Amazon to fix them myself, anyone else ever roll the dice on a cheap body and regret it?

Oh man that SUCKS. I really feel for you because that exact same thing happened to me with a Pentax 67 I bought for cheap, whole roll of vacation photos completely ruined. At least you got it fixed for only eight bucks, that's a win in my book even if the learning curve was a pain.

Were you able to test the camera before you handed over the cash?
