I would not buy used Hard-Line type of coax. I know many do but I will not.
If you have a TDR and can sweep it then you mite be OK and know that what
you are buying is good. Used if they do not seal up the ends some times gets
water in it and you just got took. But you can buy new
Andrews, RFS or Comscope at a good price from most suppliers. At 50' 1/2
will work just fine.
If the Hard Line was a take down there mite be a reason that it was removed
from service.
Yes you can get some deals on Hard Line some good and some bad. If you can't
sweep it beware. Hard line is a funny Animal and can look brand new and be
bad.
I would still use 7/8's my self. The same place you buy your hard line will
have the connectors and most of the time will install them for you.
Good Luck,
