Your best bet seems to be to buy a new one, use it gently, and sell it off afterwards.
Minor PITA, but you will get almost all your money out of it. Maybe more, if you stick it on Ebay.
Tools come across with no troubles, AFAIK. Any info to the contrary?
Watch the Pacific Tool and Gauge site. They occasionally have a sale, to clear out the overruns and unclaimeds, or specials that were not what the customer required.
