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.

reading all these replies, i do wonder... what was the seller feedback rating on a-gon?  good?  extensive?  

that aspect can be telling, and to me, it is a bellweather as to the level of attention i pay when considering a used item to purchase

sorry you ran into this

my view is that technically seller is correct... his ad did not state grilles were included, they were not shown nor mentioned in his ad

grilles on older speakers always an issue... problem with old linns, spendors epos etc etc tabs break etc etc over time they are gone :(

try rega’s us distributor or write them in uk maybe you get lucky
