Default Dull band saw blades

What do you guys do with your dull band saw blades? Do you bother
trying to sharpen them (or have them sharpened by somebody else)? Or
do you just chuck them and buy new ones? I've tried to sharpen a
couple of them using a Dremel tool and some methods suggested by
others on their woodworking sites (I'm sure a Google would turn up
enough examples), and the results were passable, but it was a pain to
say the least. Are there any good (and reasonably priced) blade
sharpening jigs that would make it worth the effort? I'm starting to
get knee deep in dull band saw blades...


Most of the blades are cheap enough that they're not worth it. I wonder if
you could get anything for them from a recycler?
