Found a really cute PT Item today...

[2_2COOL]

Went to Kmart because something in their ad piqued my interest. Sure enough, when I got there I found THESE adorable little slippers in the kiddie aisle. They're on sale too! If you don't have a Kmart near you, I have a set with the starting bid at actual cost & the shipping is Priority at the "going rate" I generally pay these days when shipping a lightweight item. I bought the local Kmart out of these ( 2 pair)....they were just too cute to pass up!

Here's the auction if anyome's interested: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ory=15616&rd=1

Cool! I'll have to check out our K-mart and see if they have any.

what? No adult sizes?

I tell ya - those guys just don't realize the market they're missing out on

Cruiser slippers
Cool

Well, if anyone wants these & can't find them at the local store..let me know. I'll be returning them , if not. I was removed from eBay for listing a Copywrite Infringement Item. Whatever! SOMEONE is a PITA. I bought the damn things at Kmart, I didn't MAKE them.I'll sell them to a PTE-er for $10 shipped as fast as $4 will get them to you ($6 for slippers, $4 to ship-- Priority, if I can ...1st class more than likely).

OMG... those are too cute. I want them in adult size. If anyone finds them... please let me know.
That would be a great x-mas gift for my ZEE and me too of course

That's strange. According to the search I just did on eBay:

1619 items found for pt cruiser

Why would slippers be any different?

Just picked up a pair at Kmart yesterday and they're dangling from a peg - so cute! They also had them at another store, I believe Target, but not on sale there.

I told eBay they could stuff their account ....which really sucks since I've been an eBay seller for quite awhile now & that's how I was able to remain a stay-at-home mom.

To whom it may concern-
I'd like to know why I can't sell this item? I bought it at KMART .
I don't understand what's so wrong with selling a pair of Hotwheels brand PT
slippers on eBay that can be bought at any local Kmart/Target. Where's the
copywright infringement there??
How can anyone sell anything such as PT Cruiser
diecasts, model kits, T shirts,etc. then?
PLEASE, I'd love to have an explanation!

You have identified this item as PT Cruiser Slippers. DaimlerChrysler
has never licensed the rights for PT Cruiser Slippers, therefore this
product is infringing on their trademark. Are you saying this item
actually has PT Cruiser written on the hangtag?
