droppped my D2x camera off the tripod question

Thought I had it mounted on the quick release, it wasn't. it fell from
about 5 feet onto the asphalt, landed on the right side of the hot
shoe, busted the glass out of eyepiece and cracked the houseing over
the view finder, but it still works, I picked out the loose glass from
eyepiece and shot for two more days, heading home now and wondering
what to do, no insurance, I checked, if stollen its insured just not
for doing something stupid.
my question is any ballpark ideas on what nikon might charge to fix it
or suggestion what to do next.
thanks
Gary

Any chance of stopping for a cold one at the local Thief-R-Me bar saloon
on the way home? Stuff happens during a trip to the privy.

Nikon charges $375 to check out a D2x. Given the specific
damage, you can expect it will cost significantly more than the
minimum, but probably not multiple times that much.

I just hope I can get out less than the $500.00 rebate I just got back.
thanks
