CC company wont help since i recieved a scope(even though it was damaged)and the fed ex driver encouraged me to return it,and i also used a CC conveniance check,which is also something they wont have anything to do with,so that will be the last one of those i use.

As you've been advised, _contact the Attorney General_ of his state. I've had to do this with one miscreant over the past 20 years or so. Worked.

Another tip for folks who run into troubles of this sort: if the item was ordered by mail, the first person to contact is the Postmaster, these folks but the fear of God in the baduns in a hurry.

Looks like DBA Astroproducts has merged with Anttlers. If so, you might want to take up your complaints with them.

Oops, spoke too soon. Seems like it's a dead site and has links to other dead sites.

Thanks anyhow Don,the merge took place about a year and a half ago or so,and Dale from DBA has nothing to do with Anttlers.I just find it hard to sit back and loose my money,hopefully the actions i have taken will help.

I guess my question is, what happened to DBA? I can't find them either.

Scott bought out DBA.

Dale's been out of the business for a year or two.

I hate to see things like this happen.



Hope you get your money back.

I had dealt with Dale a few times on some accessories and a 10" Dob, hated to see him go out of business as he was a great guy to deal with.

Good luck.

I really see no reason to continue this thread. Those that have lost money have gotten advice on how to handle their problems. We wish them well in their attempts. It is apparent that both Attlers and DBA are no longer in business. Sad but true. Let's move on.
