Dealer selling B stock doesn't tell customers

B stock should be clearly listed as such. I sell a lot of it, and my customers get the same support/courtesy as if they walked in the store and paid retail. I'm not sure how B stock could ever be worse than used. It may, or may not have been used, could be a demo for a show, or a simple return, but it still carries a manufacturers warranty. I don't think you will get that in most cases with used gear. Even though I can get anything we carry at cost, EVERY piece I use myself at home is B stock. It saves me a ton of cash. It's like buying at used prices, with a warranty. (I'm more than happy to sell "A" stock to anyone that wants that) I will agree there MAY be dealers that don't disclose everything. I like to think that is rare. I certainly am not one of them.

"Can someone please define the term "B stock"

Thanks Zydo, you answered my question. But if a unit is returned as defective, then repaired by you or the factory for resale, is that B stock or refurbished?

Lowrider,
the nature of English is to have many words per one meaning.

That's one of the many reasons why the English language is so difficult to learn.
