$275 for an fx60 with bent pins.

It looks brand new and has about 10-15 bent pins, should be easily fixed, i hope it works.. it will be a great bargin if it does

good thing with the sale is that it can be returned within 3 days if it doesnt work, nice

oh well hope it works anyway

hope you used a plastic (non-static generating) tongs to straighten the pins.
You may wish to clean them with isopropyl alcohol to dislodge any gunge which may have gotten on the pins.

It had bent pins. What do you expect?
Did the auction listing specifically state that you could return it? Or that it was working?
