Re-Use Gaskets

Okay, i have just dropped the fuel tank in my GT4, and i needed all the parts removed so i could drop it off to get repaired.
Now i dropped into Toyota to get new gaskets, and this is what i got back
filler pipe : 77169-14010 $7.20
evap pipe : 77179-16010 $45!!!?!?!!
sender hole : Can't find it in the EPC They don't know
pump hole : 77169-14010 $7.20
Now natually, i got the 2 cheaper gaskets, i can't justify using the $45 gasket at all, and was a bit dissapointed that they didn't know what gasket was used on the sender hole.
So what are my options, can i reuse the gaskets i have here, with a bit of gasket glue, and plenty of torque? or should i make up my own gaskets? or should i ring around and find some aftermarket or something....?

if the gasket is not broken or ripped then it should be ok to re-use with just a smear of grease on both sides.

Thanks for that, ill do that if i am out of options.
Ive been given word that the $45 gasket might actually be a set. I ordered it anyways just in case.
When you say greese, you just mean the normal gasket greese you get from autocheap etc...?
