Ok, I did it. I told Fuji to repair the camera. So yes, I will have a too expensive x100. But browsing the internet for a few days taught me that these 'classic' x100's are not easy to find below five, six hundred euro. And than I still would have a camera of which I do not know how good it is. Sure, you get 6 months warranty at dealers like MPB, but even if I manage to sell the one I have now I would loose something like 150 euro on it.

That’s a risk we all take buying used.

I was going suggest you send it in. 
Consider a lens replacement could / should also include the shutter since its part of the assembly. It wouldn’t surprise me to know they replaced a lot of other parts as well. It should come back good as new with many years of life. 
I sent my X-100 in for a small issue I don’t even remember and they replaced the aperture for free.
Best of luck, and enjoy your new camera.
