So I do a fair amount of purchases on line for modifying the bike (ebay, message boards, etc.). I think that my expectations are pretty reasonable and I usually have a good idea of pricing going into it, what I can sell the product for down the line if I sell the bike, etc. The point is I am fairly tight with my money having a family to raise, but I still splurge from time to time. I have been looking for a 10 spoke front Marchesini wheel for a 996 (aluminum or magnesium) for a while to match my rear that I purchased earlier this year. I like both the look and loss of weight. I found a set and the guy who is a reputable seller wanted $2K firm for a magnesium set (listed as excellent condition). To me this is all the money for a used set, but I was getting a bit impatient. I found a guy who wanted the rear so we paid the guy individually and he was willing to split the set and ship seperate. So I got the wheel in and it's obvious to me that the wheel was down. I think it's still straight, but I am feeling a little sour at the moment as it was misrepresented. I am letting the guy know I am not thrilled, but at this point not really sure what I want the outcome to be (send the wheel back, throw me $100, etc.). I understand that what I purchased was used, but am I out of line on being upset about this? Any advice?
