Should there be concern?


Recently I ran across an item of interest to me here on audiogon. As I read the entire ad I found it strange that the condition of item said new but the limited informative text said it was used until recently. I send the seller a private text regarding this and the limited information suggesting he should change and add more information.  I received a nasty reply and was promptly blocked by the seller. Would this raise red flags to anyone else or am I just being too sensitive?

Thank you ebm, I was thinking the same especially since the piece was 20+ years old.
Thank you for your replies. Been doing business for quite some time here on audiogon and had all good experience. This is really the first time I was exposed to this type of issue. After playing around on the selling side I'm finding quite a few ads which I would question. Whatever happened to truth in advertising?  Let the buyer beware.
Update, looked at ad I was interested in again. Seller did change condition rating from new to 7/10 and dropped the price from $450.00 to $390.00. I would still refrain from doing business with the individual.
Description of item has not changed from original and is very limited.
