Is $250 a reasonable price for one that "just needs a pinion". I think it'd be a good idea to pull the axles and take a look at the carrier and gears don't you guys?
yes thats a good price, exactly what i paid for mine with the exact problem
If it needs a pinion it also needs a ring gear. They are a matched set, you will also need an install kit to complete the deal.

you want a matching set, so if you get a pinion, get the ring that goes with it
