I was thinking, if I can get one really cheap, to complement my HD 7850, there are some that wont post etc, now would it be a good idea to try and get them working again?

Why? Unless you really know what you're doing, and are just buying it to replace parts in other broken GPUs...it is a waste.

Fix it with what? What part on it is broken? You have no idea.

If you know what you are doing, and have spare parts, then fine.
But the seller could not fix it, so why do you think you can?
