DavidG: re "...but whoever sold them to you sold you a pig in a polk since the Sept PUTs aren't available yet.

"A pig in a poke"

An offering that is foolishly accepted without being looked at first. A poke is a bag or pouch and is the origin of the word pocket - a small pouch - source: Phrase Finder
