That rear sprocket appears to be in very good shape, a little bit of wear on the front sprocket...
Unfortunatly, you know as well as I do, sprockets don't break in and straighten out "any runout". That inner cushion bearing has to be the culprit and is worn allowing the sprocket to wobble.
For what they charged you, you'd think they'd find it, especially if you can LITERALLY SEE the run out, even with the new sprocket.
I don't know what kind of tools (if any) or how mechanically inclined you are, but you could have done the job, with buying the tools, (chain breaker/riviter,etc) AND PARTS, easily for 1/3 of what you paid... And know that it was done right.
IMHO, I'd just purchase that bearing and change it out yourself. If you can get the rear wheel off, you can change out that bearing...
Look at your inbox, I'll send you a PM...
