Everyone up thread suggesting this is acceptable wear or usual wear and tear. Firstly please tell us the last time you paid £400 for a used wheelset; and if you have paid this kind of money - the condition they were in.
I bought a pair of wheels last year, hopes on archetypes, for circa ~£350. I was told they were near perfect; and They were. If I had £400 for a pair of wheels that were inaccurately described, I'd be pissed off.
You all might not know Robadob but he's one of the most courteous and gentile people I've ever met. He is well within his right to be annoyed by the damage to these wheels .
