alright canucker, these (plus a set of elbow pads i need to find in the garage) are yours if you just cover that 14 dollars that i would need to pay mr C.
fyi, the shin pads were 1.50 + tax, the skates were 10 dollars plus tax and they are size 9.
there was a nice set of skates that was 4 bucks but it was on the small end of the 8.5s so i didnt think you'd fit in them
