Seller beware! But, since he did seem to be a decent guy and give you all the other stuff he could have sold on e-bay and since you were going to buy new helmets anyway I do think an offer to help buy new for him and his wife would be a noble offer. But you're under absolutely no obligation IMHO.
Exactly!

Well ain't you such a sweet guy! If you read his post he said he determined them to be new helmets. You do what you like but if I'm in the same position I'd make an effort to make it right - just my opinion. At the end of the day I gotta feel ok with myself.

Tell the seller that you will be happy to have the helmets "professionally cleaned" and they can be picked up at the detailer of his choice. Up to $20. His mistake, his loss, if he is whining about it now he is a cry baby.

On top of that, there were numerous other extra items included. If the only the only thing extra were the helmets, I could maybe see immediately questioning if they were included or not.
OP should not give it another thought.

OP, you're in the right & PO sounds like a semi-tool over this deal. Don't look back and enjoy the new-to-you bike & helmets.
If you don't care to keep the helmets, because of this confrontation, sell them...maybe PO will buy them back.
