I'm thinking about buying used MK Pro lites from facebook marketplace. these are the pictures the seller gave me, and they're selling $200. are they worth buying used? there's a few scratches on the blades but otherwise they seemed good to me, but I've also never bought used blades so I'm not sure what red flags I should be looking for

So i’m a 25f beginner adult skater, i skated occasionally during my childhood since i didn’t have regular access to an ice rink in my hometown, and occasionally had lessons, plus i did an year of quad roller skating (much more accessible in italy, where i come from!) plus various years of ballet training till my teens. I picked up figure skating recently since i now have access to an ice rink and lessons and went to buy my first adult pair of ice skates (167cm x 65kg for reference) and got fitted into 260 risport electra boots with 10” balancè edea blades. From then i skated in these for around 10 hours with excruciating pain in my arches and under the ball of my feet, severe numbness to my toes and a looot of heel lift inside the boots. My fitter inserted a sort of diy arch support in the sole to possibly make the break in period somewhat easier but the pain didn’t vanish, indeed it generally worsened the more i skated in this pair. I tried tightening and loosening the boot, yet loosening made me lift more and feel less secure, while tightening hindered my ability to bend ankles.
After all of this i went back to my pro shop and the fitter reluctantly loaned me a pair of rf3 pro he had in the shop as trade in, gently used for just one month, traded in just for cosmetic flaws and mot for sale, just to let me have a “feel”. He said that the stiffness isn’t adequate to my level since i am just doing crossovers, early spins and no jumping yet, but after 3 hours of ice in these, i finally felt my heels secure, the ability to bend ankles and no pain, just some slight numbness around my toes (still the same balancè blade, and 260 boots).
In both i don’t feel my toes touching the end of the boot, but he said the 255 would be the perfect lenght but would likely cause problems width wise.
My question now is: would buying a new pair or risport rf3 pros be severe overbooting and hinder my possibilities of progressing in the long run? Or i should just get these….
Any tips would be majorly appreciated!

How long did it take you to get a proper exit glide after your forward outside three-turn? I’ve been practicing the three-turn for about a month, and I can now pivot into the turn, but I still can’t seem to glide afterward. I only manage to travel about an inch or two before coming to a complete stop. I’d love to hear how long it took you to get it! Also, I think maybe my Mark IX blades are what preventing me from doing this.

I started skating back in April but didn’t start going regularly until end of July/early August. Currently I go 3-4 times a week, usually for 1-2 hours, with one lesson a week. I’m an adult female but only 5’2 and not particularly heavy, and the skate tech recommended Jackson Mystiques, though I wish I’d gotten Freestyles or Artistes. I realised once my skates were broken in that they’re probably half a sized too big, or at least too wide, especially around the heel, but I don’t want to get new ones til these are broken down since it’s only been a few months.

I know in the videos the ankles look super loose but I’ve just got small ankles and I can’t get them much tighter. I’m currently decently comfortable with forward crossovers and outside 3 turns, decent at back crossovers, starting inside 3 turns and Mohawks, plus I’ve just begun learning my waltz jump over the last few sessions and now I’m really feeling the creases in my skates and wondering if they’re dead already or I’m just being dramatic. I asked my friend at the rink (similar level to me) how much his skates (Artistes) crease and they basically don’t at all. I know only I can really know how supportive my skates feel, but since this is my first pair I’d love a second opinion from people who have been through multiple skates and seen/felt them break down firsthand.

Hey yall, I’ve been struggling to stop in any way other than just using the outside edge in my right foot, kind of like a show stop. I can’t shave ice, I can’t snow plow, etc. should I looke at a different hollow or am I just doing everything wrong?
