I wouldn't try to fix it (although I have, when wires broke off flush with the top). And decent used ones are scarce, in my experience.

The $80 sender you found sounds about right (brand unknown?) FCP Groton lists a VDO (OEM Brand) for $85.

When replacing the sender, I don't try to get the (hard plastic) return line back on the barbed fitting. (Or get it off for that matter). I cut it off flush with the end of the barb.

Then trim away about 1" of the outer protective rubber, and attach a 2" or 3" length of Fuel Injection hose between the barb and plastic line, using good FI clamps. There is very little pressure there, and I've had no problems with the several I've done.
