I have two unedited SS videos of Eden and her sister, "SSEB" I think the sister is really hot (especially in those shorts) and went looking yesterday for the edited videos. I searched for "Eden" but didn't find any with her sister. Were they pulled?
[added: Went back and check. The preview pic in the year-video says "SS106" but the download store skips over SS106 and 107.]
And any chance the sister would come back for another session?
I can answer this one.... 1) When I went on "hiatus" for a year, I went ahead and released what I had left in the vault as unedited clips. But a lot of these volumes didn't get edited versions. 2) The one scene you're showing, especially, has sold better than ANY other RAW clip I've ever released... So I don't think an edit at this point makes any difference! But you never know. 3) This is indeed a fabulous clip.
4) Eden got pregnant (twice!) and moved far away, so she's never shot since this volume. BUT... I think I can probably track down her sister still. Not sure if she'd shoot without Eden, but it can't hurt to ask. She does look great in those shorts!
Eden takes a pieing in I think SS74 that is about as good as anything anyone's ever done. Just sits there after take a great double pieing until later when she's water bucketed.

FWIW, I would insta-buy the edits of these scenes - I've boycotted the RAW clips, and had almost given up hope that these would ever be released proper. Plus given that part of the offer of RAW clips is supposed to be the free edit later, isn't it a tad unfair to intentionally not release it? Particularly for a top selling RAW clip?
But it's less about "releasing it" and more about finding the time to edit clips that are now several years old... And standard-def to boot.
It would take me about the same amount of time to edit down the Eden & sis volume (SS106) as it would to edit Bree's new volume (SS141). The latter is HD and has never been seen before... The former is SD and pretty familiar by now. Given the limited amount of time I have, I'll usually go with editing the new stuff.
Also, lest we forget, there are several producers who release EVERYTHING as-is, so unedited is the only option. I appreciate that folks expect more out of me... At the same time, I have more than 100 shoots now available in both edited and unedited format, and most folks don't mind that the rest are only available in only one or the other.
But who knows? I might go back to those volumes again. SS108 & 110 didn't sell especially well as edits (which prompted me to stop editing old SD footage and focus on the newer stuff), but SS105 did better, so there's the possibility that new edits of shoots that never got them would still sell now.
Rich, there are photos on your site of the two sisters in dresses being slimed, but I couldn't find a video for that. I'm not normally a fan of slime but they look so good in those dresses, particularly during the hosedown.
Catalog Number vdo-110-0222 Slapstick Stuff Scene 3RAW Volume 106 Producers Number: A10603RAW Price: $13.99 USD All unedited footage from the closeup, medium, and wide angles for Scene 3 of SS106. The sisters trick each other into getting slimed... SIX times! Then you might as well bring on the pies... and our first sister hosing sister.

Rich, this could just as easily cut the other way, though ... you could release the new SS141 as a raw clip only (for the time being) and edit SS106.
I don't know how many people are like me out there, but I would definitely buy edited clips from SS106, while I can't justify the expense of the RAW clips. The best of them, Scene 1, goes for $17 in RAW form. It looks quite fabulous from the stills, but I will just never spend that much money on a single scene from any producer. For that amount of money, I can buy three great scenes from any number of people.
Well, here was my thinking during that time... 1) Here's a preview of SS106, which I'm gonna edit soon. 2) Actually, I'm getting out of the business, so nevermind. 3) [one year later] Well, I'm shooting again, so let me edit that stuff. Huh. Looks like that one scene from SS106 is still selling. 4) Ooh! I have HD now! I have to release those edits next! 5) Man those HD clips are REALLY outselling the SD clips now. But maybe I *should* edit those old ones anyway... Let's try SS104! 6) Nope! That didn't work! Guess I'll leave that old SD stuff as it is. Hmm... That one SS106 scene is STILL selling.....
Anyway. Would this scene have sold as well as a $16.99 RAW clip if I'd released the edit soon thereafter? Possibly... But probably not. FBOW, I put out a clip that a lot of folks wanted to see... And a lot of folks were willing to pay that premium.
And I certainly wasn't trying to gouge anyone, but at the same time... There are shoots and scenes that I LOVE that don't sell well and don't turn much of a profit. Many of those are quite cheap ($5 for edits, sometimes $6 or $7 for the full RAW footage) and I would consider them a bargain. Conversely, I'm gonna price a scene higher if it hits a nerve and people are really buying it. Case in point: Literally the NEXT scene I shot with Eden & sis sells for $10 as a RAW clip... 3 angles, more footage than even Scene 1... And it's sold less than 1/5th as much as Scene 1! Clearly, the $16.99 price tag didn't discourage people... Just like the $9.99 price tag didn't really EN-courage sales.
But anyway... Now that I know there's a market for edits of this particular shoot (or at least one scene), I'll put that back on the front burner. I'll probably still finish working on editing at least part of SS141 first though!
