Occams razoe applies here... the simpliest solution is usually right.
If the leads to and from the starter are in good shape, Bogus, I agree. Rebuild the starter yourself. It isn't very hard and is very cheap. Either way, safe insurance.
Just a thought, when my battery isn't very fresh, my car will not start. I have to replace batteries every couple of years. Mine pulls current to the electric windows, radio, HVAC fan, water pump, line lock module, nitrous to and purge module, fuel pump, FJO progressive controller, and MSD box. If the battery isn't fresh, it quickly drains and will not push enough juice to crank the car. I don't know how many electronics you have that can pull current before you start the car, but if all else fails, check the battery.
Let us know when you find the problem so we can all learn!!
