    I bet the cost of the gas/wear and tear on your car and 4 hours of your time to return it would have covered the cost of a new base. Also, I agree that buying a used Egg is probably not the best idea...based on the warranty parts I have had covered so far. 
    The cost of the firebox alone easily eclipses the gas/wear and tear. Then there would be the new base.

    I understand that some dealers may help out without warranty, but the odds that they'd request a receipt for both a firebox and base seemed too high to be left to chance.
    Maybe so, but a cracked firebox can be used forever. Not any real need to replace it unless it crumbles into pieces. The firebox in my large has been cracked for 3 years and I can't tell the difference. 
    My replacement fire ring and fire box have been stowed away for 8 years now, cracked ones still goin strong.

    So if you buy a used egg, why not get the receipt from the seller? If you had that couldn't you do all the warranty stuff? It was a Bday present from a family member maybe.
