I think sometimes batteries look good, test good and are in fact NO good.
Before I paid that money I would put in a new fully charged battery and start it, let it sit for a few days and start it again. I'm thinking you may have been had. If the car comes back with a new battery then you definitely have been had.
I just changed my battery in my DD as it is seven years old, my wife said it was a bit slow starting the car the other day, so it is gone.
