RFS LCF 7/8 cable is great stuff. I bought the last I used about 3 years back
for 1.92/ft new. It's now 2.12/ft from tessco. Connectors are like $25/each
for N male.
I truly don't see the point in buying used cable for anything more than
.50/ft. It's a huge risk that it's been mishandled or stored improperly.
I've been bitten with used cable that appeared great once, which wasn't caught
until after it was installed. My time was worth more than the $300 saved on a
few hundred feet of used cable.
