"... Just the same! He's persuaded that man to buy a pair of roller-skates!" says Tintin in Land of Black Gold, commenting on Oliveira da Figueira's powers of persuasion.

But where else do we see a roller skate for sale in the adventures?

In The Broken Ear (p.57-B2), a single roller skate can be seen in the antiques' shop.
I'm not sure it's for sale, though, as it might as well have been left there by a child!

Yamilah has it, once again! I presume it's for sale - doubtless there was a strong market for single roller skates in 1930s Belgium. Your turn for the next question!
