4 years ago, I worked at a bike shop while in college. Once, had a customer come in for a tape change, and the old tape was just fine to me. They didn't want it, so I coiled it up and brought it home with me.
Dug it out of my college backpack last night and re-taped my commuter with it. Looks fine, and holds fine even though the adhesive backing was long gone.
