Sorry Cavey but that isn't quite right. The 13 and 6 numbers represent the 19 buying options that are available from ALL sellers from the alternative buying choices on the right hand side. That is, they aren't stock level numbers, but the number of choices representing each seller as an alternative buying option.

See the list of all sellers (including one of Amazon's as a buying option) here: (6 New buyer options and 13 used Buyer options = 19)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0764323008/ref=dp_olp_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1278080731&sr=8-2




Amazon doesn't actually give out inventory numbers UNTIL their stock levels are close to running out. At that point an automated message such as or similar to this:

"Only 10 copies left. This item is being restocked"

will appear next to the In Stock message thus surreptitiously prompting the shopper to quickly purchase the item, no doubt.  ^^^

So until that message shows up next to the green In Stock message I wouldn't be too worried about obtaining a copy.

Hope this clears it up.  ^^^

EDIT: Here is an example of the message that shows up as only 5 in stock (but see how it says 22 new and 22 used underneath it)

yeh you are correct. i read it quickly thinking it was stock avail.

its funny how the yanks have heaps and the aussie book people have none.

i am now thinking of buying the "Tilt- the battle to save pinball" but hoped someone who has it might send me a copy (hint-hint).

Please do not rip off the guys that made this fantastic movie, it only costs $25 shipped to your door.
Sure burn as many multi million dollar budget hollywood movies as you want, but Greg is a great guy and has put in a lot of time and effort to package it up into a facinating movie with heaps of info and interviews, grab the two disc version and you get another 7 hours of interviews and shots of all the pin 2000 games that never were, pinball circus and heaps more.

Buy a copy here: http://www.tilt-movie.com/

You will not be disappointed

Don't rip off the guys trying to save pinball

Rather than go online and purchase Tilt through Marco Specialties - has anyone got a spare copy to sell to me?

Looking at grabbing a copy of the DVD as well. Have emailed Greg to see whether can be purchased directly from him as Marco's postage is calculating over $30. Will advise what he comes back with.
