Those caps look as if they didn't get much flux, and knocked-off fairly easy, and clean. Most of The caps in the pics look like they would solder right back on. Most of the components which came loose look re-usable even, although some look like garbage. The boards are pretty beefy, and the solder points are large. I bet a good portion of the PCB's could be fixed with minimal effort, while others are not.
Someone should head up a group buy effort, and hire a bulk repair shop to whip them out. once they see how simple the repairs actually are, it may be worth the effort... just sayin'.
some place like this....      http://sybesmas.com/site/   could make easy work of a stack of those boards

I live about 40 miles away from this place. Never seen the place, but I'm pretty sure they're using a lot of temp agency for rework jobs. In this area, some businesses would spend 10 cents to save a nickel. I did some solder work recently near here. I'm not saying that you don't have a good idea, I just wouldn't send it to SW Michigan.
