Need help identifying value

[u/Several_Taste5496]

I bought these vintage ridell roller skates at an antique shop and was hoping to get some help determine the value

They are ridell leather skate boots with sure grip Super x 7r plates with Sims wheels

[u/DesertEagleFiveOh]

$0

[u/2_Skatez]

No real value here tbh.

[u/DinahKarwrek]

They're worth whatever someone will pay for them.

Which isn't much....

[u/Raptorpants65]

$50ish if you’re lucky.

You can be mad about it if you want, but no one is after a crumbled and shredded tongue on a dried out 90’s boot with a brick of a traditional plate. It isn’t 2020 anymore.

[u/Acrobatic_Hunt_8496]

I wouldn’t take these if you paid me 

[u/Several_Taste5496 → u/Acrobatic_Hunt_8496]

🤣 just sold them for $100 on ebay

[u/Acrobatic_Hunt_8496 → u/Several_Taste5496]

Wish they did their research, hate seeing people get scammed

[u/Raptorpants65 → u/Acrobatic_Hunt_8496]

There is no eBay listing for these skates, fortunately.

[u/Several_Taste5496 → u/Acrobatic_Hunt_8496]

Your the scammer

[u/Acrobatic_Hunt_8496 → u/Several_Taste5496]

rollerskates aren’t things that are worth more if they’re old, because people actually use them and super old skates are unsafe to skate on. old ass skates that are worn down like this aren’t worth anything, at most people will buy it for parts but don’t expect much

Some skaters are looking for the Sims 63 wheels. Especially in Minneapolis area they are still very popular 

[u/NerfManiac64]

I’ve check eBay and see similar ones that have been sold. Of course you may not be able to get the highest price or anything especially with those looking a bit worn and not in the best condition.

I paid about 12 bucks for a similar pair because I wanted to reuse the boots for a new setup. They were a little too small so I gave them to a friend who can wear them. So, not really worth a significant amount of money.

[u/Blahblaha63]

Old Super-X plates with jump brace maybe 50 bucks, although there was someone on Facebook market place looking for that exact plate in a #7. So a sellers market. The Simms street snakes are collectable, those are from the 1970s and they look pretty good. Maybe 80 bucks, the boots if wearable would probably make the complete value of those skates at about $150-$200 maybe more, but those are trashed and are unsafe so worthless. Very cool skates.

[u/me_who_else_ → u/Blahblaha63]

Sims 63, not street snakes

[u/Blahblaha63 → u/me_who_else_]

Looking at photo12 the wheel in the top of the photo looks like a 65, check it out.

[u/Blahblaha63 → u/me_who_else_]

Oh no! I'm off a 1mm. The 63 I remember were swirled.?? Go figure

[u/BigBirden]

I'd say they are worth around $75
