The only thing that would concern me about buying this (NOS) material of 
unknown date of manufacture from eBay is that it does have a shelf life of 5 
years in its pre-stretched state when properly stored (50-80 deg F at less than 
75% relative humidity).  If it’s been stored in someone’s hot humid garage or 
been rattling around in a tool box in a pickup bed in the sun for a couple of 
years before it hits the auction site, there’s no telling.  I suspect at some 
point it won’t shrink as much as the specification.  But it is less expensive 
from most sellers than the retail pricing.
