I found a sweetheart of a deal this week. The rental place where I get my chains sharpened has tons of chains that have been used once on saws out for rental. The store sharpens them then they are hung up on the wall above the workbench.
I was able to pick up 2 good chains that retail for 30 dollars each for 10 dollars apiece.
They have tons more and in all sorts of lengths and sizes. They are stihl chains but due to the fact that most of the people who are renting a saw, usually tradespeople working for utility companies, can't be bothered to sharpen a chain and they want to know that the saw is sharp and ready to go right now.
Someone else may have found this type of deal before but I don't recall reading about it. I am just happy to have found this sort of deal as it helps me make my woodcutting more economical and more efficient.
