How bad does a shaft have to be before it's no good? This shaft is marred ,I can feel the indent but you can see it's not deep.

I replaced the shaft just because it was out and I wanted to make sure everything was new. I've been told that this shaft was just fine and would have worked for a long time. So I may put it up for sale on ebay.
