I could do that, but:

There is no guarantee that it is the starter. I'm confident that it is, but my novice diagnosis could always be wrong. I don't want to spend $100 (most likely more) only to find out that it has been wasted and I have to spend another few hundred bucks to fix the real problem.

or most likely:

Assuming that my diagnosis is correct, why would I spend over $100 for a problem that I could fix myself for $10 or $15. I don't mind spending the time and effort to fix the problem myself, if its possible. I'd like to exhaust all the typical/most likely/probable solutions regarding the starter before I go out and invest 1/20th the value of the car into a single component.
