Hmmm... $275 new; $60ABC (Already been chewed)... since as far as I can tell, Nikon's basic repair rice is about $135, I'm not sure it's worth it. If it was a $500 lens? Sure, but unless you can do the work yourself, don't think it makes sense.

you don't need the focus ring cause it's AF-S. If the glass is still good and everything else works fine. I'd say that's a deal! $50 even.

If I lived in denver, i'd totally go for that. the focus ring on the lens is worthless anyway since it doesn't have scales!

LOL.. If this was a canon.. i would totally give it a shot. If it works, I can just fabricate stories how the lens got damaged.
