imo I would have shown the back of the pieces and explained the repairs. I never like hiding anything because it just comes back to haunt you and makes you look sneaky. However, you said you bought them direct from him, not off of ebay. So I don't think it is fair to hold him to the ebay auction description unless he specifically instructed you to do so.
All of this being said, those parts have very minimal pitting for that part. The price of $29 is really cheap if his repair of the studs was done properly and will hold them. If it wasn't pot metal welded properly, the parts are of not much use to you.
