Quick question - Eames lounge - to buy or not to buy  

Such opportunities don't come often
When you consider that a Vitra Eames Lounge Chair is as authentic as the Herman Miller version (only those two companies own rights to its manufacture and to the use of the Eames name - all others are forgeries), then you have certainly missed a great opportunity. Also, on this side of the world having a Vitra version gives it a somewhat more exotic gravitas. But alas, there will be others to be had, perhaps at not such an attractive price and probably not the Vitra version, but if you keep looking you will find one. Best of luck!
