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.

The seller operated in bad faith. 
Why? Because he knew that the grills
would be expected to be part of the deal
and he failed to mention that they were not.

Meantime the buyer violated the primary directive.
Ask about every detail in writing. Get pictures of
all surfaces not pictured. Assume nothing.

The fact that all you got taken for is a set of grills
is actually a lucky break for you.
