I'd walk away from that customer as fast as my feet would carry me if I were
you.  It's not worth the hassle for a few dollars, plus if he's that cheap he
might also be lawsuit-happy.  That's not a good combination.  Besides that, it's
highly unlikely that replacing the resistor will solve the problem that caused
it to burn out in the first place.
