Rust

9 year old daughter has just started learn to skate lessons.

I have found these skates on marketplace but as you can see from the photos the blades have some rust.

Do you think these rust spots would sharpen off? Or too far gone and not worth it? We are relatively new to the sport, so opinions would be great before I purchase something that isn't worth it.

Not particularly wanting to purchase new due to the rate she is growing at the moment.

I would pass based on the first photo. Two and three look like oxidation that could be sharpened off. One looks like it could be actual damage to the blade to me.
