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.

Should have been disclosed or clarified.  No way to parse this.

Artemus_5 & MCP are correct.Seller played smart ass.Now Ask for grill in whatever condition to send. say you will get it fixed and use.
2. Ask him to pay/refund 50% cost of New grill(even if you are not buying one)3. Warn other about HIM everywhere. Name & shame. down vote in the market place.

Wow. I’ll definitely think twice before I buy anything here.

IMO it’s not buyer’s responsibility to ask if the unit is complete before purchase. It’s the seller’s responsibility to say if it’s not. And some people think you should give POSITIVE FEEDBACK???????????? Is that all positive feedback is worth on this site?

Thanks very much for the warning.

You'd bet he didn't state the Speaker wire, source or amp were included either?.
