Rare Roan Pre-Code Hollywood Risque Years Human Bondage/Millie/Kept Huge Price Drop
I've been wanting to pick this set up for the last couple years, it has by far the best prints out there of all 3 films (Of Human Bondage / Millie / Kept Husbands) & has been going for ridiculous collector's prices.
Seems some have popped up; Amazon has it for $19.99 new & 2 3rd party sellers with less than stellar feedback have it for under $11.
I hope this isn't some sort of an sku error, I ordered 1!

Congrats on finally getting this! Wish I could afford it, but can't with all the Black Friday bills piling up.

Moo, I just opened up an "Official" Bargain Thread for ROAN/VCI/ALPHA titles. Hope you will remember to post in there when you come across deals like the one in this thread, though I'm sorry your order was canceled. I hope those who ordered this title from the Marketplace get theirs.

I am curious to see if you get the right dvd. Something about this entire situation feels a bit odd. The reason I noticed it is because I have been checking that Amazon page daily for months.
At least I finally picked up there Cagney box cheap the other day! & I did get a decent deal on the other precode set a year or so ago.
IMO, Roan is by far the highest quality PD dvd co ever; it's a shame Troma destroyed them.

I remember years ago checking out the Roan site I think just as Troma took it over....why did they take them over??? Just to get their building/equipment???

Why is a really good question. If I remember right, they paid a fortune for them.

I think if Berigan lucks out and actually gets the right set, he should copy the discs for the rest of us, LOL. I mean, these are all public domain titles so it's perfectly legal. Thanks Berigan!

Berigan, I'm really curious to see what you receive. A friend of mine who did get in on the deal got a burned set (ouch). he hasn't told me yet if his came from Amazon or from a 3rd party.

Good luck, Geff, I hope you get it and it's an original. It sounds like it's your Roan Holy Grail, so I hope it works out.
