I have
a set of 4 Symposium Fat Padz for sale. 
There are a few scuff marks, but no bends or structural damage so they
will perform without any issues.

See below description from the Symposium Web Page 

Introduction

Fat Padz are stand-alone, vibration-absorbing devices which provide effective,
"problem-free" resonance control and vibration damping with active
and passive components. Compared to conventional cone-type isolation devices,
Fat Padz are more tonally neutral, and more effective at reducing distortion,
since they have the ability to dissipate energy as well as reduce the amount of
new energy that can be introduced into the component from its support surface.
They are more convenient and somewhat safer to use than cones, since they are
physically more stable and cannot topple over.

Description

The Fat Pad is a mini Symposium platform- only 2" by 3" (5 x 7.6 cm),
and 7/8" thick (2.2 cm) with tops and bottoms that are layers of precision
laser-cut, polished stainless steel. Their interior consists of 3 constrained
layers, including a 3/4" (1.9 cm) thick foam center section banded with
textured vinyl edgebanding. The foam section is the same thickness as the Super Plus Platform. A Fat
Pad can be considered an "expanded" Point Pod, since it is
identical save for its thicker, banded foam center.

Application
and Function


Fat Padz are convenient in situations where a full platform isn't practical.
Their 7/8" (2.2 cm) height is enough to bypass most existing equipment
feet, and should be used to directly support the metal chassis of active
components. By coupling directly to the equipment chassis, Fat Padz damp excess
mechanical energy from the component's structure, dissipating it as heat. By
providing a non-resonant, non-compliant mechanical ground connection which
simultaneously dissipates energy as heat (an important distinction to make over
ordinary footer devices), Fat Padz reduce background noise induced in the
electrical pathways of electronic and electro-acoustical devices.

Fat Padz also provide isolation from vibration originating in the support
surface, such as a floor or rack shelf. They are very effective with
loudspeakers, and can improve overall loudspeaker distortion levels by reducing
intermodulation distortion caused by the reflection of mechanical energy to the
drivers from the speaker cabinet.

Ideal
For Stacked Components!


Fat Padz are ideal for stacked components; when convenience or room do not
allow other deployments, Fat Padz are perfect as isolation and damping
solutions for components which would otherwise simply sit on top of one another
with their built-in feet. By placing Fat Padz in between the components, one
will simultaneously damp both components AND isolate each one from another,
improving results.

Placement
and Set Up


Place Fat Padz as you would other "footer" devices. We recommend
three, placed under the component so that the stainless steel top contacts the
underside of the chassis, bypassing the rubber feet. If you're treating a small
component, two may be sufficient. If possible, "butt" the edges of
the top plate against any protruding screws, bolts, etc., as this will improve
results. Please click on the link provided immediately below for a separate
page on Fat Padz Setup Tips.
