Missing Camera and Silent Repairman (cupog)

Guys need your help on this. A bit of background info first. I sent my pentacon six for repair due to the shutter speeds firing erratically or the shutter staying open indefinitely even though it wasn't set to bulb mode and locked. The person I sent it to was this person in Slovakia by the name of Gejza who goes by the ebay moniker cupog. At least thats how I first got in touch with him, through eBay.

 

The camera came back serviced the first time and worked fine for two months. Then the problem resurfaced. I sent the camera once again to him (Somewhere in September last year) and I have not heard from him since. His last message was the confirmation that the camera had arrived at his place. He hasn't replied my emails or given me any updates since. Its been over a year and I am a bit frustrated as I spend almost $50 shipping that $300 camera to him and he seems to completely ignore my messages.

 

Has anybody had a similar experience with this person or does anybody know what I can do?

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for hearing me out.

 

Thanks,

Nanda

it would be nice to know where you are shipping the camera from?

 

it would help to understand why you chose to send it to slovakia when there are many other people a bit more local to do the repairs.

I live in Singapore. None of the servicemen here could fix it. I read about him being a reliable ebay seller and serviceman. Hence I sent it over. And like I said, it turned out fin the first time. Until he vanished mysteriously and stopped replying. He is still active on eBay though.

ah i see. contact ebay n see if they have a way to contact him to resolve your problem?
