to fix almost all my tiny13a's I had to build this, but it definitely fixed all 10 boards :) for the tinies you don't need any parallel connections, so it's basically SPI + 12V on reset. I've hooked up a boost converter, added a button and "some" LEDs (bicolor), worked them in the code and now basically have a "power on and fix" stand alone fuse resetter for soic Attinies. That's not highly specialised at all. BUT IT WORKS AND THEY WORK! Now I need to clean up my desk.

I've set AVR clocks too slow before and had to slow AVRDUDE down. The -B option works wonders. There's an app note somewhere, but I vaguely remember something about keeping the period longer than 4 clock cycles. Or maybe it was 16... Anyway, you're just changing the fuse bits, so going infinitely slow doesn't hurt much.
Still, a HV programmer is a good thing to have because as Radomir points out, it gets you and extra 20% usable GPIO pins on the tiny-Tinies.
Are you sure? yes | no
Yeah, I wasn't sure what was wrong at all, until the fuse resetter showed me the previous fuse settings and after I put them into the fuse calculator. At this point I was all setup and didn't think of anything else. My usbasp gives me a warning that it can't set clock speeds and I need to update, so I'm not sure the -B option works... I don't know.
Are you sure? yes | no
Cool, now you can use that RST pin as GPIO too!
Are you sure? yes | no
Interesting that this fixes all of them :)
Could it be they sold them so cheaply because they were "faulty" devices?
Are you sure? yes | no
They were all set to 0x63 on the low fuse, making them run on 128kHz - that's something that my USBASP can't handle, as it seems :) I think with a slow SCLK it would have worked to recover them, not sure though.. anyway, I'm pretty happy that they're all fine and for the future I'm prepared :)
Not sure about the 'sold faulty', they might have... but then again they also work.
Are you sure? yes | no
