They're his wheels, he's entitled to hold on to them for as long as he wishes. Bottom line, there are not a lot of other options for us out there. Also, at this age, wheels aren't in the greatest shape.
I'd suggest that if $50 is all that's between you two, that you ask if you can come see them in person. If they're perfect, pay the man. If they aren't point out the flaws and ask if he'll reconsider. An "in-person" negotiation is worth more to sellers than people's word over phone or email.
I'd also be concerned with paying a premium for an unknown set of wheels where one or more could have mild bends. Maybe find out if your indie or a local tire shop will inspect the wheels for you on their balancer for a nominal fee.
FYI, I bent the hell out of an Aero wheel last year. It took me over a month just to find one within a 2hr drive. By the time I found the wheel, I would have paid whatever the seller was asking.
