I tried, but the majority of the pins are bent. There's not un-bent neighbor pins I can align to. At least 2 have pins that have detached or broken internally. What gets me is they were advertised as "collectors items" and in "excellent condition"

There's 5 modules in this box, they need to be compressed in just to fit. The only padding is ~5mm foam under the pins. The box wasn't labeled fragile. It's just so obvious they'd get damaged. The seller wants to imply I was up to something, and then blame USPS, instead of taking responsibility for his own horrendous packing job. I would hardly have the patience to straighten the pins normally, but definitely not in this situation.
I can still use them to practice BGA soldering, and pull off the PGA assemblies and see how they're built, and just generally use these modules to familiarize myself with how they're built, so it's not a total loss.
