I've been thinking about selling my childhood collection but some of these prices I'm seeing just don't seem real, can anyone advise me? I also have a few I wasn't able to find using LPS Merch.

The ones I'm not sure about are the very tiny ones with no magnets and sitting on little clear platforms instead, I think they use to come in these little boxes that popped open and they were whole little worlds, like playgrounds and things like that? I have 3 cats and one dog in these little models.

The other is a little polar bear, in between the size of a normal lps and the tiny ones. It's white with blue paw pads, eyes, nose, and little blue flowers. I think it use to sit on some kind of platform that it was joined to that I probably tore it off of when I was little lol.

Today was my first time on quads since I was very little, I fell hard on my wrists the first time I went skating and never wanted to go back. Yesterday I rented some inlines for the first time and liked them, but the rentals hurt, so I decided to look for some nicer secondhand ones. I found these Lincoln Maverick quads for 15$ while I was looking so I decided to try them since they were so cheap. The woman I bought them from said she bought them in the 70s, around 71-73 I think she said, but I’m not sure.

They’re very comfortable besides the old insoles that need replaced, and the high boot feels really supportive in the ankles. I didn’t really do any actual skating with them yet, just kind of practiced moving my weight from foot to foot, balancing on one and switching to the other, and practicing falling and getting up a few times. They need new wheels for sure, and probably could use new laces and a good clean over all but so far I think they’re going to be really nice to learn in.

Does anyone else have the same or a similar pair that they regularly use? I could use some suggestions on maintaining an older pair of skates, and getting started actually skating.

Help with my collection and also ID-ing a model please?

Brand new to skating , need some help and suggestions please!
