Never had it happen to me, but IMHO the best you can do is take it back,
give the guy a refund and pay for shipping. I know it's a bitch, you loose
some (perhaps a lot) of $$$ but nobody can afterwards say anything that
might work against you. Or work out a deal like a partial refund to make up
from the MISB-MIB difference.
I bought a used, but complete (with manual and box) set about 1.5 year ago
from somebody on LUGNET. When the set arrived it turned out to have several
critical parts missing (replaced with common other parts) When I
complained, the seller only wanted to give me a refund when I shipped the
sets back at my own expense. When I did this, using the cheapest rate
possible ofcourse, he even started complaining it took too long, the stuff
got damaged etc etc. Well that's one person who I'll never buy from again.
