No. No you can't.

First of all, its no longer $75. A 505 in ideal shape only gets $50 from them now. (edit - I see someone beat me to this point)

Secondly, a dead battery = an $11 trade-in offer. Even though the battery replacement cost for Sony themselves is probably negligible, nevertheless they slam you for it.

The $50 off Kobo coupon is expired now, so by default I've made the decision. Also, MegaCapacity.com had the battery for $13. That's including shipping.

Of course its probably coming from Hong Kong and will probably take weeks, but even so that's a hell of a deal.
