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.

Technically, the seller is right, however,  he/she is NOT an upfront or transparent seller.  I would’ve been majorly disappointed, both in the purchase, and with the seller.  Sellers have a responsibility to be accurate and also clear, and my gut is this was a premeditated omission. 

You can leave feedback that is fair and honest, while not being negative. I think the seller deserves feedback that encourages other buyers to inquire carefully before purchasing anything from him/her. 
Personally, I think you have a responsibility to leave feedback like this. A community like ours needs accountability, which you can achieve without being nasty.

If the seller is lurking on this post, I hope you realize you still have a chance to make this right.
