You betcha!!!

The decision to buy the card was based on what it came with. It wasn't
really free. If they included it after the fact without any advertising,
then it would be free and I wouldn't complain. I guess you believe in Caveat
Emptor.

If the yabe seller didn't show the front of the lens in the photo, and it
turns out the front of the lens is missing (current first hand experience)
..

If the seller advertises like new, but it clearly isn't like new, and tells
you to buy new if you want new ...

O bla dee bla dah ...
