B Stock Or Grey Goods, How to Tell?


I'm curious, I bought an item off ebay and had problems with the seller making delivery etc. Well, I finally got item but I don't trust the seller and wanted to know if there is anyway I can tell by serial # or physically if the item is B stock or grey goods. I really don't know what the official definition of those terms mean even.Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the info. Just to add a couple things-It is a Denon DMD 1000 Minidisc Player/Recorder which is the official model #. On the back of the unit and on the box it states "Made In Japan" On the original box it says "DMD 1000 Black E3" (don't know what E3 means??)Also, on the back of the unit it says "This class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-causing Equipment regulations" and "US and foreign patents licensed from Dolby Laboratories" The unit appears brand new as described and the manual is in English, Spanish and French. There are no other #s on the unit itself except for DMD 1000. There is no switch on back of unit to change voltages. Thanks again!
