Can any of these CPUs be overclocked???

Sure they all can be overclocked, if you have the right setup. A decent 775 board, P35 or P45 chipset. Decent DD2 ram, good psu, etc. If you're gonna get one I'd make sure they actually work. Have the guy show you it in a working machine.
 
how'd he test that Q9300 with the "ding", could not seat a HSF on that very well xD

looks like they used it as a hockey puck lol

The E8400 clocks the same as E8500 which I had. It does 3,8Ghz on stock cooling.
They can clock higher also.

Too bad for the damaged quad, I would think it's a risk buying that one, although the stock heatsink probably doesn't touch the edges.
