Speaker purchase question

I have been a member here for 22 years, but encountered something today for the first time and would appreciate your opinions. 
I bought a pair of used speakers on Agon and they arrived with no grilles. The seller is stating that the pics did not have grilles (true) and they were not mentioned in the ad. These Rega speakers did come standard with grilles originally. I thought that the pics were taken to show the condition of the drivers. When I asked the seller, he said that he had looked into buying new grilles, but since he didn't mention them in the ad, it should have been obvious they weren't included. 
Am I wrong to feel deceived? I want to be reasonable and would be interested to hear other opinions.

Since the speakers originally had grills when new, it should have been stated in the ad that grills were not included.. Many of us do not use the grill, so it’s not uncommon to see speakers without grillsIt may have been an innocent mistake on his part. But it was his error, not yours. Had it been stated in the ad and you missed it then it would have been yours.
Btw, did the ad say that only what is pictured is included? If not then it's his fault again
