The fork sounds like a different story and would probably need to be replaced alltogether. Was it packed/shipped poorly? If you still have the box take some photos of it to show that the damage did not occur in shipping and that the seller misrepresented the item in the auction. "overall great shape!!" is what it was described as, and it's certainly not what you've got.

If you don't know of a framebuilder in the area there's a guy in Baltimore named Bruni who did a repair job for me a few years ago. Really nice guy and fair pricing as well.
