Cheapest place to get inline skates?
My old skates are just shot so I need a new pair. Looking under $90 for a 2008-09 model, with abec 3 or 5 bearings.. size 11. I see so many sites with cheap pairs but they only have like size 7 or 9. Help would be appreciated.

If you are looking for closeouts, expect most sizes to not exist. The stores don't buy very many large sizes so they are gone early.
Ignore the ABEC number, it is meaningless for inline skates. The wheel size is much more important. Larger is better, I don't recommend anything under 80mm.
You are looking on the bottom end price for a reasonably good skate. It will take some hunting. Look at the big box sporting goods stores (Dick's, Sports Authority, etc). The individual stores may have leftovers that are marked down but are not on the corporate web sites.
I got my girlfriend some nice rec skate closeouts last year for $103.
