tburns517 3 Report post Posted September 7, 2016 Hello everyone. I was recently asked to play goalie for a novice league (since I can't skate out). I have been looking up some used gear online, and found what I think is a pretty good deal. He is asking $400 for everything. He said the helmet was used once and he paid $400, the skates fit a 9.5 shoe, and he "thinks" the pads are 33". Due to the lack of detail I have asked for more pictures other than what he has provided. Overall, what do you guys think of this deal? Obviously it is hard to tell without seeing it in person, which I am going to do this weekend. What should I typically be looking for when it comes to used goalie gear? I appreciate your help in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, yes the mask is a $400 mask. So I'd say even if just the mask, chest and pants fit you're still ahead. If the skates or pads don't work for you, you can always re-sell. You wouldn't get much for them but I think getting anything for them would be a bonus. The glove and blocker are pretty beat up but still usable for sure. I'd do it if that mask is indeed an NME8. If its an NME5 (I don't think it is, again based on the padding) or NME3 then I'd pass. Edit: if that IS an NME8, and you decide to pass on the full kit, see if he'd sell just the mask.
