Sigma SD15 conundrum

I'm struggling with the economics of this situation. I bought a Sigma SD15, body only, off of eBay for $185 + $25 shipping. I sent it to Sigma US for a sensor cleaning which I was prepared to pay for. I also asked them to check the internal battery because the camera was not retaining date/time settings. They say the internal battery needs replaced -- $165 total. The seller is only offering a refund of the purchase price ($185) and I pay for return shipping. The camera has about 6500 shutter actuations according to the seller. He bought it new.

So $375 for a freshly serviced body, or eat about $50 in shipping and try again?
