I have found a huge variation in the quality of elastic in different bunge cord materials. A couple years ago I finally had to replace the bunge cords on my kayak deck, they were over 20 years old which I think is pretty good.

I have also had bungee cord inside of shock corded tent poles that lost elasticity in only a few years which I think is pretty bad.

Thus, I think the quality is a roll of the dice, you find out later if you got the good stuff or not.
