Too much parsing on the word "unexpected". Give it a rest. If I needed a new barrel; worth what, maybe $50 and labor; and was confronted with the news that all I could get is a new gun at $250 or more, scrapping my existing investment, to me that would be unexpected, certainly an unpleasant surprise. I don't care about arguments whether I should have been surprised. I was still surprised, certainly caught off guard and frustrated..
