I did it and I hate myself for it. I trashed one of my ukes! It was my worst one. The very one that made an appearance in the http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?54977-Show-Your-Crappy-Ukes! thread. I couldn't take it anymore.
I salvaged the tuning gears and junked it. It really was so poorly made that I felt that giving it away would actually discourage a newcomer from playing. When I give something to someone, I want to feel good about it, not be doubtful if I did the right thing!
I got out my Lanikai and let me tell you, what a big difference! I do feel bad now about the poor old "Cheapo" and even said words of farewell.
Now I know to get a uke from a shop where I can test them and that services them and not online anymore. I found a store and a small shop in town (the owner, UkeLady is a member here!).
I hope the uke spirits don't frown on me, I had to get that off my chest.
