Who's to say the seller "knew" it was dodgy? What if the lockring wasn't tight enough - takes about 5 skids to destroy a perfectly good thread...
If you wanna ride a fixeh and want to run 2nd hand wheels, you need to understand the basics and inspect the shit you buy.
Anyway, it's not dangerous as the OP claims - that's why you run a front brake too.
