Default Stock oil pan gasket reusable?

Just wondering if they were reusable if they were in good condition when removed? it looks like its in awesome shape... i was just going to throw it back on... but i wasn't sure.. i'm not sure how much an OEM replacement gasket is? so i'd figure i'd get some second opinions before i did it.. Let me know what you guys think? Thanks!

It was fine for me...I bent mine to hell though the second time I took it off though, just so its looks good I dont see a problem with reusing it.

Those basterds are expensive as well!

I didnt take mine completely off, but if you just drop the pan for an oil puckup bolt or something, then yes, easily reusable.
