When I purchased my current bike the bike shop swapped out the handlebars from 42cm to 44cm for me. When I went to pick it up they were still working on it and I saw they were going to reuse the tape. I was surprised since I didn't know you could reuse the tape but it came out as good as new and so far through almost 4 months of riding you wouldn't never know it was reused. As far as selling it though, good luck with that.
