1 Catalytic Convertor problem

Failure Date: 06/03/2004

We bought a truck on ebay from a dealer in texas. When we went to get it inspected in our home state of MD it was discovered that this truck did not have a catalytic converter on it. There was no mention of this missing equipment or the customer exhaust on the auction. Of course to have it pass MD safety inspection we had to spend over $ 700 to have it put back into the truck. My question is it legal for a dealer to sell a truck with out this standard equipment? if not I want to try and have them help cover the cost for this repair. Thanks for your help.
