Got 2 motherboards each one got damaged pins. Not sure what do with them. Don't think any one will buy damaged and fixing that will be cost more than it is worth.

Solution
If the pins are only bent, somebody surely will buy them. But if there are any broken/missing pins, the boards are on its way to trash.


How damaged is 'damaged'?
Broken off? Recycle bin.
A little bent? Try to bend it back.
 

One of them got 1 bend and second got 10+ They are still there.
 


Try to bend them back. Gently
