That's $126.65 for the same new motor you could have bought for $89.99 plus shipping from A-Main or Tower.

How do you get $83.65 and $126.65? I send them my motor, and get a new Ballistic for $50, plus $13.65 S/H, and maybe $2-3 for me to send it to them, so close to $65 total I can get a new Ballistic. Considering I've already used my Velociti motor for quite awhile I feel I got my $40 "value" out of it, as far as I'm concerned that $40 (or at least the greater majority) is used up, out of the equation. If you bought a car for $5000, drove it for 5 years, and traded it in towards another $5000 car you wouldn't say that the second car cost $10000. Now the motor has renewed value if I take advantage of the trade-in program. I'm getting more value out of that than if I tried to sell the motor and use the money towards a Ballistic. You can spin the numbers to make it look like a good deal or a bad deal, and it might be good or bad depending on specific situations, but it my mind in my situation it's a good deal.
