Shifter - is it 9 or 10 speed?

I just bought a set of used Shimano Ultegra STI shifters that were advertised as the 6600 10-speed. However, before I installed the right shifter I tried it out and I only count 9 clicks up and down. I haven't installed it yet, but it seems to me I may have a 9 speed? Not being installed on the bike has nothing to do with it does it? Is there any "tell tale" sign I can look for that will indicate it's the 6600 10-speed? It looks just like the 10-speed Ultegra on my other bike.

Never mind. Boy do I feel stupid. You start in gear one. Nine clicks more and you in the tenth. I wish I could erase this thread!

You'd be amazed how often this happens. Not to worry, you aren't alone.

Did you figure it out before or after you wrote the angry letter to the seller telling them how they ripped you off?
