Personally, I LOVE guys who toss out dull/damaged chains with lots of life left in them, especially, if they toss them my way! I hate to see things wasted and get a lot of satisfaction out of rescuing/salvaging used/damaged/abused chains.
A lot of rental shops put a new chain on each saw rental, and build it into the price, so that a customer cannot claim that they rented it with a 'bad' chain. Some of these single-use chains end up on eBay. A few Home Depot employees told me that they cannot afford to sharpen chains, even at their wages, compared to what HD buys new chains for.
Different ways of looking at things.
