open to either selling or trading this item for classic LEGOs.
I’m particularly interested in gently used, authentic LEGO bricks and building pieces in good, clean condition.
I’m specifically looking for standard-size LEGO Classic building bricks, plates, baseplates, wheels, windows, and doors—not the larger DUPLO bricks or collections consisting primarily of tiny specialty pieces.
I’m also open to LEGO sets designed to build specific objects (cars, buildings, etc.), but only if all the original pieces are included, so the children can complete the intended project.
The LEGO will be taken to India for children to enjoy. LEGO is considerably more expensive there due in part to import duties so I’d like to bring versatile building pieces that encourage creativity and imagination, rather than incomplete sets that might leave the children frustrated because essential pieces are missing.
Open to reasonable offers, trades, or a combination of cash and LEGO.
Local pickup or exchange preferred. Thank you!
Vintage 1990 Rollerblade Lightning Inline Skates – Size EU 43.5 / US Men’s 9.5 – Original Owner + Gear
Although these are a man's shoe size 9.5, I am female with a shoe size of 11. I usually wear a men's size 9 shoe. I don't remember why I purchased 9.5 skate size, but it leads me to believe that the skates might run smaller than a normal shoe size.

✅ Discontinued Model
The Rollerblade Lightning line was a flagship in the early '90s, known for its durability and performance before aggressive skating dominated the market.
Rollerblade no longer manufactures this style, and many original pairs were heavily used and discarded.
