Using USED bio pellets
I picked up a used reactor set up on the weekend, and the seller included a bunch of damp pellets in a bucket.
He got the unit second hand and had not used them.(from what I remember being told) They are still the size of lentles and are firm. Is there any concerns using USED Pellets? Or should I just scrap them?

You can use it no problem.
Just to be on the safe side soak them first in RO/DI water and change water few times to wash out all the dead bacteria and decomposing detritus. Soaking will also help to keep pellets from floating up in the reactor chaimber.
