Bought a used 7D with high shutter count

I know who I bought the camera from. It was well maintained and serviced regularly. Knowing it has a high shutter count, what will I be expecting to pay for a shutter replacement when the time comes?

A buddy of mine said he got his 1D shutter replaced between 2 and 3 hundred bucks.

About $250

That's what I was thinking. I went in to Henry's and the girl there suggested it would be upwards of $700.

That is poo poo! I would just put that toward a new camera if that were the case.

With a high shutter count, I'd always travel with a backup camera. The way my luck goes, things fail at the worst possible moment. I've never had camera failure, but computer crashes, etc, when under pressure have taught me the value of always having a backup.
