Find $$ amount of replacement parts, find $$ amount that covers your mental and physical stress of replacing said parts, if the seller doesn't agree to that amount then send it back. I always like to try to make things work to the best of my availability if the seller is cooperative and understanding.

If a pin on the control panel on a $1000 welder comes loose, do you send the whole machine back or do you ask for $$ to have someone re-solder the contact?

Me? I tend to send it back. I didn't make the mistake, my money didn't have any holes in it.

I feel bad the scrapyard guy is going to lose his $$ on shipping and I feel bad for me for not having the engine, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to take a bite of someone else's shit sandwich.

I gotcha. But if you can come out on top due to someone else's mistake money wise, why wouldn't you? That's how I tend to go about things. Subjective for each situation, but a engine is easily replaceable, not easily shipped. Use that to your advantage.

Wow, he's gonna enjoy that full route shipping bill. He deserves it.
