And remember, while you might have gotten a good deal or not(you are the only one to really judge that), the biggest expense comes in feeding and caring for them. Most people just look at the initial cost of the animal and don't really factor in the price of 25 years worth of substrate changes, food and vet bills. But like Mr Misha said, if your goal was to produce something that wasn't crazy expensive, it probably would have been better to just save the cash and buy one or slowly add multi gene animals. I'm still on the fence about breeding myself but if I do do it, it will to produce my own morphs I want for fun and not to make money. That's why I would probably limit myself to probably 7 or so animals max as for me, they would be pets first and foremost and breeding them would be more of an afterthought than a goal.
