I posted a brand-new pair of sneakers for sale (excellent deal, if any of you ladies are a size 8 ) and this is the only response I got:

Dear seller,

Seems perfectly clear to me MBA!

Don't discriminate MBA - there may be men amongst us who might want to buy them for themselves.

In case you haven't figured it out yet..just disregard that message. Those are bogus messages that are routinely sent out after you post on Craigslist. I don't how they get through but it seems to be an automated response in an effort to rip you off.
What kind of kicks are you selling?

Well, I figured MORGAN KEN didn't want to pay for my "item" with both credit and cash even though he/she "has interest in it to buy," but no one else wrote me, so I am sad.

MF, they are really cute sneaks, purple suede Pumas. I wore them (outside) for about half a day before I realized that that half a size (I wear 8 1/2) really can make a difference. Are you a size 8? Are you interested?

Purple suede Pumas! Couldn't you exchange them for 9s at the shop?

If only they were a half-size too large for you rather than a half-size too small.... though I spose you might not sell them then!

I was looking for a pair of "speed cats" for my neice but I don't she'd wear purple ones. I wear a size 10 myself.
Those Pumas run a size small so a size 9 would probably be perfect for you.

Maybe you don't understand how procrastinatory I am...I bought them 2 months ago! You have two weeks to exchange. And they probably wouldn't take them back anyway, as I wore them outside.

Spread the word...size 8 purple suede Pumas...cheap!

I would clean them up as good as possible and take them back to the store and say you got them as a gift and that they aren't the right size. I think you have a good chance of getting them exchanged for a different size...it's not like you're asking them for money back!
C'mon girl! Where's your NY chutzpah??!

But I bought another pair of sneaks somewhere else, and would rather have the money at this point!
