Money's really tight at the mo so I'm thinking of selling some of these shoes:

The US Size 8 9094 Spidey Evolution's seen HERE. Really good for vert with good wheel positioning and grindplate. Can be supplied with new black laces or red laces. 1 week airmail can be got for about $30 for these if I safely bubblewrap them instead of sending the heavy box, and I'd like maybe $40 for the shoes so total cost of $70 would get these on your doorstep. If you'd like cheaper postage they can be sent surface mail which takes longer but costs about half as much. I used the deuces in a different pair of heelys so you're better off buying new mega's in the US as they're cheaper than I can get them for here and it would save postage costs, but if needed I can sell you some new mega's, maybe even put in some different bearings for you if needed?

All of my heelys are in very good condition, with a single pair usually never clocking up more than a handful of hours wear because I have so many.

Also thinking of selling: Spotless US Size 8 Wheat Rumbles. Big, tough, comfortable, with tons of ankle support and padding. A unique style of Heelys soon to be very rare. Rumbles aren't like any other heelys because they seem to run true to size, if not larger in some cases. My bro is a size 10 and he can fit comfortably in some size 8 Rumbles, and I'm usually a 7 or 8 in Heelys but I prefer 6 in Rumbles. They can be laced loose if your foot is wide, tight if it's narrow and seem to have a lot more room in the toe than any other Heelys.

An expensive suede treatment can be applied before sending to extend the life of your rumbles by warding off rain and stains. Rumbles are really nice boots, and in this colour people have often asked me if they were Timberland boots.

I paid about $140 for these as I couldn't find them cheap at the time, and now they're getting rarer again, but am only looking for about $60 with either your choice of brand new mega wheels or slightly worn rumbles (no street use, just clean home floor use, pics can be provided to interested parties). Since these are so pretty and I wouldn't want them damaged on route, I'd have to post in the box to keep them good, so postage will sadly be more expensive on these (probably about $40 surface mail) but I am willing to try to shop around for the best deals etc.

I hadn't planned on it, they're kinda the prize of my collection, but I might be convinced to sell, but the cost might be too much for you to be interested since if I remember right in the SB you said the Torches on the heelychat store were too much at $80?

I mean sure the base "sale" price of the Toxics (the pair I still have in new condition) when I bought them was lower than this, but to get them I had to make tons of international calls for weeks at god knows what cost, then pay someone to drive about 200 miles or so and collect, paying the cost plus taxes, then pay for the delivery of them over to the UK which alone comes to another $50 ish, then pay the UK's import fee of about $20. . . it soon adds up. Wink

So, I'm afraid I wouldn't part with a brand new pair of toxics for less than $150, and then I'd be making a little bit of a loss when all costs are factored in. Surprised

No problem, sorry about that. I have various size 7 or 8 black torches and evo's or various other mega-grind models which I could sell for a cheap price but sadly the postage cost would mean overall it might still be cheaper for you to buy them new in the US (provided you could find them of course). Wish I lived over there in that respect. Smile

if you could find out how much those torch's size 7's would be with shipping you know that would be a huge help and if they are under $70 you would have a buyer Very Happy

I have some size 8 Torch's which are nearly new, worn only a couple of times: i will get some pics for you some time if you like and they would fit you? And yes, I guess I could part with them for $65 delivered. For comparison, at cheapest UK prices, buying and delivering to you a brand new pair of US7 or 8 torches would be about $100 (the bigger they are, the more they cost), and after you'd worn them for a day they'd look just like the pair I'm selling here for $65, so I think it's a reasonable deal? Smile I can get them posted airmail, you'd have it in a week. . . like with the evo's it's cheaper without the box if I just bubblewrap them together.

Only smaller torches I have are some 7s and some 5s, but i forgot the 7s are heavilly used so you wouldn't want them. I think I got some more 7s somewhere but might be tough to find them. . . so many heelys around here. Surprised Bigger ones I have are 12s. The others are the red 9117s and brand new with tags so I'd kinda like to keep those (or at least, wouldn't part with them unless for about $90). But hopefully my spare size 8 9116s will suit you and give you some growing room?

They're the ones shown in the middle in this pic:

Only reason they're grey inside is that I put extra insoles in to keep them fresh and protect the original insoles usually, it means the HEELYS lettering inside doesn't get worn off as quick.
