Look like a decent size for the price. No idea what they are but I'm sure some will ID them!

Looks like Mamm elongata f. cristata, and 2x Mamm ‘uno pico’ to me. Ofc I could be wrong.

But I bet you knew that already!

I thought it was uno pico but obviously they look like they must have had growing point damage or is it a new sport getting them to stack
And yes elongata f cristata

Bit more tricky, maybe:

1 Parodia species
2 Echinopsis (in the globular traditional sense - calorubra maybe?), although somewhat reminiscent of a Wigginsia
3 Lobivia - difficult without flowers to narrow it down further
4 Echinopsis leucantha or melanopotamica perhaps?
5 no 1 and 2 in same pot.

If nobody else wants to offer any suggestions I'll say it's probably pentlandii - blunt petals and a white throat circle. Spines are thicker than is typical.
