I suggest, that you go down to the shop in question; take the scope with you and tell him that you want your money back. Mention the Trade Practices Act and say that it is not of merchantible quality. That means you should get your money back. Tell him that if he does not return the money you will report him to consumer affairs dept. This usually does the trick, however if he does not help then you must report him. Consumer affairs takes a dim view of people like this. I am sure that with a little mucking around you will get your money back and put it to good use with a new scope.
