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.

@jjss49 Thanks. Aren’t we all tired of meanness by now? Let’s give civility a try -- stop propping up our egos with put-downs. (I mean, 7th grade was a long time ago, right?)

Your question is reasonable and some of the responses here are mean. You don't deserve that, OP. Amazing how even the most innocuous post can provide an opportunity for snark.

I think the seller could have been more forthright but that you don't have much reason to complain. If it were me, I might have put in a good rating, not the top one, and say something like (assuming it's all true),

"Speakers worked perfectly and were shipped on time and safely. Seller did not clearly disclose that grills would not be included and this is the reason I've left a less than top rating."

This would explain your rating, give credit where it's due, and yet warn other purchasers that this seller may need some coaxing to disclose all pertinent information. You may save a future buyer some headache or even some money.
