Re: Rare Roan Pre-Code Hollywood Risque Years Human Bondage/Millie/Kept Huge Price Dr
2 3rd party sellers at buy.com are now listing the set cheap. I am NOT vouching for whether it's legit or not though, something very strange is going on..........

There's also an ebay drop shipper offering it @ $16.95. I tried to email them to ask if it was burned. This was a first, ebay returned this message:
"We're sorry we couldn't find an answer for you. Unfortunately, due to the high volume of messages this seller receives, they are unable to respond to your specific question right now. We suggest reviewing the item again to see if your answer is in the seller's listing."
I'm really starting to think there may be a huge batch of pirated burns of this that a bunch of drop shipper's bought. I am considering cancelling my current Amazon order to avoid having to pay return postage.

And even if they say the set is legit, you have to take that with a grain of salt. I remember some guy trying to claim a Criterion he was selling wasn't a bootleg but after going back and forth with him and posting info on what Criterion doesn't do aka what bootlegs look like, he finally shut up.

How long until we start seeing DVD-R copies of the Roan RAIN release? That is also OOP and selling for big bucks.

You wouldn't have to incur return postage if you are sent a DVD-R. Unless that is in the listing at Amazon it would qualify as their mistake and they would pay for the shipping back.

I believe you need to ship it back with tracking and then they are supposed to reimburse you.
I've found this for one of the conditions to do an A-Z claim.

You have returned the item to the seller per an agreement between the buyer and seller and the seller has not provided the agreed reimbursement to the buyer after receiving the item. Note: If you refuse the package and the return doesn't have tracking information, your claim may not be covered by the A-to-z Guarantee.

I do remember an ebay seller was selling burned copies of the Roan Mr Wong set a few years back, but that was one seller only; this seems to be a bit larger scale.
I'm still thinking, but i am likely going to cancel my order which still hasn't shipped.

"This should be shipping in the next 24-48 hours. We apologize for the delay.
Thank you"
So. Today is the 24 hour mark, still not shipped. Tomorrow will be 48, and if it hasn't shipped by evening, I'm canceling it. Yours should be shipping before mine, since you placed your order before me (assuming you haven't canceled it).

I did get a reply from them yesterday - it was in my spam folder.

Just sent cancellation request. Apparently the 3rd party seller has to agree (it is NOT automatic), even though it's been a week & the item hasn't shipped.

I just had my amazon order ship. I don't plan on crying if I need to return it because it's not legit. I've already accepted the worst. Hell, I ordered from HME. What could be worse than that?

Geff, I thought you ordered yours with "Fulfillment By Amazon," so I thought the return process would be painless. I've never had to do a A-Z return.
I hope your cancellation goes through. You never know with third party sellers, sometimes they NEVER check their E mail and other times they see the cancellation request and just ignore it. As an Amazon seller myself I check my E mail every single day and always respond promptly to any concerns, but some of these sellers have no customer service skills at all. Please keep us posted of your developments.

I just looked at my Amazon orders page. The order is gone. Poof. Kaput. Like it never existed. Not canceled, gone.

Mine also. I suspect it was the pirated edition & they had pre sold it before receipt. It's also possible that Troma followed up & had it pulled.
Now for the pain of finding a real one, which will likely be a lot harder than it used to be; as a lot of honest retailers will not notice that small dvdr sticker.

I am mildly pissed they get to walk away without any feedback for the customer experience. The only email I got notifying of the cancel was an automated one from Amazon.

Another interesting part of this is right before my order disappeared the seller sent me an email trying to talk me out of cancelling!

Well, Amazon acknowledged that they received my return & refunded my money. But now today I noticed of all e-tailers, bestbuy.com has this title, along with #2, up for order!!
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpa...s&nrp=15&iht=n
Yes, it's back ordered, but what the heck, I rolled the dice & ordered both of them!

Proving I have not learned anything from touching the hot burner, I've ordered a used one from an Amazon reseller. Think it might be the best chance of getting a pressed version.

Probably is. But then you have the twin issues of price & condition. I actually returned a used one last year because it was listed as like new & was all scratched up.

Import CD had it last night on Amazon. I asked them the usual & got this back,
"I'm very sorry, our database does not provide any further details regarding this product."

LOL. MovieMars pretty much wrote the same thing to me recently when I inquired if one of their DVDs for sale came with the slipcover. They sent a long form letter saying how great they are, but that they can't comment on any specific items they have for sale. Gee, thanks.
