Is my starter going bad for 2002 Toyota Camry?

I have a 2002 Toyota Camry with almost 150,000 miles. 4 Cylinder. Yesterday I was not able to get my car to start so i called AAA to come out and test the battery. The battery tested out fine so the guy tapped on the starter with a hammer to get it to start. I took it down to Pep Boys thinking it was a bad starter, but they said that the starter passed all the tests. They wanted about $270 to replace it so I decided to wait in case there was a different problem. I have started it at least 15 times since in the last 2 days and it is running fine. Should I have the starter replaced, wait for it to happen again, or could there be something else wrong. If I should go ahead and replace the starter is that price too high? I'm in California if state matters for price.
