I haven't even seen the frame or the advert and don't know what you paid, so take my opinion with a pinch of salt.
But from what you wrote, I don't think you've been hard done by.
A bit of Emery cloth will clean the steerer up and there are steel frames three times the age of yours still doing good service.
I appreciate you're disappointed, but both sellers and buyers are naturally inclined towards being optimistic about a trade, so it's rare that neither are disappointed.

Please dig away - didn't post to just get a pat on the head so I appreciate the response. You're right and on reflection I would feel stupid whinging to the guy.
