him: "wheels"

me: "Hi, thanks, but what is the frame size, in inches, from center of crank to center of top tube, measured along the seat tube?"

him: " From the center of the crank to the top of the bar where the seat post sits in is 23". Does that makes sense to you? If not let me know and I will take another measurement."

me: "Yes, thank you. It's a little too big for me, so good luck with the sale"
This doesn't sound that unreasonable to me. Assuming this conversation is verbatim, you didn't really give him much to work with.
