Dealer selling B stock doesn't tell customers

Can someone please define the term "B stock"? I thought it meant that the product had a blemish of some kind, but was fully operational or the item had been discontinued. Also if it was opened to look at by the store and customer.

"B stock can sometimes be worse than used. It can also mean that product may'd came out of the bad batch and than re-manufactured or repaired."
- Shouldn't this scenario be called "refurbished?"

thanks.

And Sudz is? Really?

I doubt that it is an industry standard but any "B" stock I have ever seen is marked on the box. And some will have a warranty "B"stock addendum enclosed. To address the posters concern, I would concur that it should be disclosed at time of the transaction regardless of price. Also the manufacturer should confirm with the serial number.

Sudz is still posting on AA.
