If something is out of stock at amazon.com, is there a way that they can re-order it? or is there a way to ask them to re-order it?
Just look to see if it is being offered through their "Marketplace". If it is, then you can see how many new copies are available and how many used are and make a decision from there.
I use the Amazon Marketplace all the time with no complaints. I buy new items usually. Mostly CD's, DVD's and Xbox games. I have only had one problem and I have ordered probably 20-25 items from different "Marketplace Sellers" I ordered a Power Rangers movie for my little boy and they sent the box set of Nightmare on Elm Street. I asked them to send the correct movie and also send postage to send back their mistake and they said their policy was for me to send the movies back at my expense and then they would send the correct movie. So I kept the box set. Why should I have to pay for their mistake? Otherwise great service, always cheaper and always brand new.
