Does anyone else only use their chain one time!?!

Used once chains for sale-------sign of the times.
I get a ton, I mean A TON of people in the shop who buy new chains as soon as the last new one is dull I have given up explaining how to touch up their dull chains. I get the same ol' same ol' all the time-"I'm far to busy to sharpen","it's a waste of my time", etc. Heck easier for me to shut up and sell them another. Although it's hard sometimes to refrain from telling them that with the time it took them to come down to the shop, buy the chain, and drive back, they could have run another couple of tanks thru the saw AFTER sharpening the chain.
Just a view from the other side

Oh it is for sure, but it pains me to throw away so many chains. I won't keep them, as it's a liability to me. I've offered a free sharpening lesson to them-grab a coffee and your saw and come to the back. Never works, there too busy, but they chat to the parts counter for a 1/2hour after:hmm3grin2orange:
What do you do?

You sell them a new chain then mail me the old ones I will sharpen them up and sell the ones I can't use on ebay:hmm3grin2orange:
