[SOLD pending payment]

I managed to fuck up and broke off both used pins on an M462 diode. It is in a standard copper module (but without lens).
The driver was touching the wall of the rear part of the module, so when I tried to unscrew it part, the driver rotated as well and twisted off the diode pins.

I can't be bothered but it's probably possible to fix it and put it to use if you are very good at soldering, you'd need to attach a wire to the tiny points where the pins used to be. So I'm offering it here for $20 plus shipping (unregistered shipping would be about $5 worldwide, less if in Europe) if anyone is interested.

The module is pretty scratched up on the sides because I used too much force when trying to unscrew it, but if installed in a heatsink it won't be visible.

Did both the negative and positive pins shear off or just one?
A picture would help also:)
